FIRE Statement on Use of DEI Criteria in Faculty Hiring and Evaluation
The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education published an extensive statement on the use of DEI criteria for vetting purposes. The statement comes at a time of increased use of such criteria (via mandated DEI statements, manifested and planned “commitment” to DEI, and other proof of DEI “loyalty”) in faculty hiring, promotion, tenure, and funding, a tactic that may be increasing in anticipation of a SCOTUS ruling against affirmative action.
