Diversity Statements Violate Institutional Neutrality!

Source: Bet On It
by Bryan Caplan

“A year ago, only three U.S. colleges and universities were officially committed to institutional neutrality …. Since then, the number of such schools has multiplied by more than a factor of 7. … Some of these schools, most notably Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences, have recently eliminated mandatory Diversity Statements, too. (Though this is still up on the Harvard website). Yet as far as I know, no school has, after vowing Institutional Neutrality, said, ‘Pursuant to our vow, we no longer require Diversity Statements.’ And as a matter of consistency, they all should.” (10/24/24)
