University Plans to Hire Staff Based on Their 'Diversity and Inclusion' Rating
2021-05-31
[Red State] Would you be a valuable employee at Bowling Green State University?

Before you answer that, consider what you offer — in the way of "diversity."

As reported by The Washington Free Beacon, the Ohio college may soon view applicants through the lens of their "diversity and inclusion" score.

Such was learned, purportedly, via emails obtained by the outlet.

In April, school president Rodney Rogers told faculty he’ll be piloting a diversity and inclusion process for those applying for a job over the next year.

Hopefuls will be docked points for failing to share personal experiences related to diversity and inclusion.

Or, as Rodney allegedly expressed, by "not addressing their own positionality" concerning diversity and inclusion.

Within the new hiring system, committees will choose which question(s) among five upon which to rate the individual.

Scoring will adhere to a five-point diversity and inclusion metric.

#7  A private college going woke can expect to lose students and their money, going broke in the process. Not so much for a state supported school like Bowling Green State.

#6  Bowling Green State University's ranking in the 2021 edition of Best Colleges is National Universities, #258.
In other words, a BG degree is practically worthless.

I am all for giving ANY person a leg up.
But, we have had close to 55 years of Equal Employment Opportunity enforced by law for certain groups n the USA.

So there is little excuse for Lack of EQUALITY in the work place employment, promotion and public status. IF a person uses the taxpayer laid out golden path of preferred college admission, assistance and hiring.

Another alternative is:
It could be the college is quietly trying to avoiding admitting, that for years they were saying one thing, while they played a Racial Shell Game to collect Public Taxpayer $$$$ to assist and play "Equal".


QUESTION HERE IS:
How much preferred treatment and coddling does any Racial group need or get, before it is considered RACIST against other groups concerning equal employment?



Anything less than the BEST Qualified person for the job is short changing the staff, and students.

#2  Would you want to work for someone who has such a qualification? Sooner or later you would stumble over one of their bullshit rules and get canned - maybe even have your reputation ripped to shreds as a bonus.

#1  Little new here. The US Government has been utilizing a similar 'inclusion' system for decades. The last question on most employment applications deals with demographics. Visit any Civilian Personnel Office or US Postal facility for details.
