Dropping the diversity statement requirement for prospective faculty @MIT? HxA President John Tomasi says it's good news. There isn't any evidence that requiring these statements has made hiring fairer or improved the college experience for any student. realcleareducation.com/artic…

Academia is on the verge of having most of America turn against it and my progressive colleagues are in such a bubble they are just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic not realizing that Claudine Gay is the canary in the coal mine.

They are classical liberals that want to preserve the truth finding mission of the university while we still can. In a 50-50 society no institution can claim to the arbiter of truth when they shut out 70% of the population based on their beliefs.
