MIT Abandons "DEI Statements" -- Political Loyalty Oaths to the Cult of DEI, Required to Even Get Considered for Employment

Fascism is always descending on the right only to land with a crash on the left.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will no longer require prospective hires to pledge allegiance to the principles of diversity, equity and inclusion as an employment condition, becoming the first elite university in the country to do away with the controversial practice denounced by free speech advocates as a "political litmus test."
"Requests for a statement on diversity will no longer be part of applications for any faculty positions at MIT," a university spokesperson told The Post in an emailed statement, noting that the decision was made by MIT president Sally Kornbluth along with the support of the provost, chancellor and all six academic deans.
"My goals are to tap into the full scope of human talent, to bring the very best to MIT, and to make sure they thrive once here," Kornbluth said. "We can build an inclusive environment in many ways, but compelled statements impinge on freedom of expression, and they don't work."
Part CV and part DEI loyalty oath, diversity statements have become common practice in higher ed in recent years, compelling faculty or research applicants to bloviate over two to three pages about their commitment to "advance excellence in diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging as a teacher and a researcher in higher education," as Harvard describes its own diversity statement requirement.
Similar descriptions can be found on the homepage of just about any prominent school in the US as top universities scramble to loudly proclaim their commitment to the practice.
Princeton peddles its diversity statement requirement as "an opportunity for you to highlight the ways you would advance an institution's DEI work," while Columbia University furnishes job seekers with a four-page guide to help applicants "showcase your understanding and activities" around diversity and inclusion.
As one of the country's most prestigious institutes of higher learning, MIT fields job applications from some of the world's top scientific minds. But even those applying for highly specialized fields weren't spared the diversity statement requirement.
In a 2023 faculty job posting for MIT's Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering, sandwiched between a requirement for three or more reference letters and examples of published research, candidates are instructed to provide "a statement regarding their views on diversity, inclusion, and belonging, including past and current contributions as well as their vision and plans for the future in these areas."
Such practices, though now commonplace at American universities, have long been condemned by academic freedom and free speech advocates as a political exercise.
...
Freedom of speech advocacy group the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression warned that diversity statement requirements "function as ideological litmus tests" which "threaten employment or advancement of opportunities for faculty who dissent from prevailing thought on DEI."

All because the media went all-in on the left's political op to turn George Floyd a referendum on Trump.

6 I was approached to come out of retirement and teach at a local community college. I considered it, but then saw that the CC required a leftist loyalty oath, so I told them "no."

They then said they'd waive the oath in my case. Upon reflection, I realized that I'd be surrounded by people who HAD signed the leftist loyalty oath, so I told them "no" again.

Hard disagree on that. George Floyd was something of a spark that set off the powder keg, but he was not the powder keg. Neither was Donald Trump.

This powder keg was lovingly and painstakingly constructed for decades within academia, media and government. They've been engaging in ideological filtering for far longer than they had these kind of Diversity Oaths.

It was a solid 15 years before the first of these oaths surfaced that the average American university was less politically diverse then the Kremlin was during the Soviet days.

Have your oath or don't. Whatever. They've been doing this for generations, and will continue.

97 It's all bullshit that wastes everyone's time - writing and reading them.

There is this underlying idea that black people, or women, of whatever other minority you care to conjure up is underrepresented at the tops of science. And... they are. But the reason is not racism or sexism. The reason is:

1) Interest. thousands of studies show that men, all over the world, are more interested in things, and women are more interested in people. To be a good scientist you have to be very, very VERY interested in things.

2) Your work ethic is something that is taught, and MATTERS. To be a top scientist you have to work very hard. And you have to start working that hard from an early age. That means you need good supportive parents.

If you want more diverse people at the top, you need to address the issue at the bottom. Screening candidates at the top is useless.

135 CNN - World / Middle East
Hamas accepts Gaza ceasefire proposal from Egypt and Qatar, Updated 4:49 pm

In part, "Hamas said it has accepted a ceasefire deal proposed by Egypt and Qatar, which seeks to halt the seven-month war with Israel in Gaza, prompting Israel to say it would send a delegation to negotiate – though it warned the proposal remained far from the “necessary requirements.”

In a statement Monday, Hamas said the head of its political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, told the Qatari prime minister and Egyptian intelligence minister that the militant group had accepted their proposal.

Shortly afterwards, Israel said the proposal Hamas had accepted was still far from the “necessary requirements,” but that it would send a delegation to the mediators. It also reiterated its commitment to carrying out an offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, saying its war cabinet had “unanimously decided” to continue with the operation “to exert military pressure on Hamas.”

Prior to Israel’s response, Palestinians had been celebrating in the streets over Hamas’ announcements. In Tel Aviv, hostage families and their supporters implored Israel’s leaders to accept the deal."

148 Shortly afterwards, Israel said the proposal Hamas had accepted was still far from the “necessary requirements,” but that it would send a delegation to the mediators. It also reiterated its commitment to carrying out an offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, saying its war cabinet had “unanimously decided” to continue with the operation “to exert military pressure on Hamas.”

149 In part, "Hamas said it has accepted a ceasefire deal proposed by Egypt and Qatar, which seeks to halt the seven-month war with Israel in Gaza, prompting Israel to say it would send a delegation to negotiate – though it warned the proposal remained far from the “necessary requirements.”

God made the Jews wander for 40 years because the "judgment was not full" on the people frying their infants on the red hot hands of Moloch and sawing their infants in half. (Which theory has it, is why David put some captures "to the saw").

Numbers 13, 14

God commanded Moses to send spies into Canaan. The spies said the people there were very strong and well fortified. The spies said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we."

The Children of Israel took that report and freaked the hell out. They even threatened to stone Aaron and Moses if they tried to lead the people into Canaan. God then swore not to let any of them enter the Promised Land because of their unbelief.

216 I saw a video on X of a white kid reading his rejection letters from all the Ivys including the crummy ones like Brown and Penn. plus MIT Stanford and rice.

He scored a 35 on his tests, was number one in his class and had a gpa of 5.04. Out of four.

He might have been Jewish. I couldn’t tell.

Posted by: Additional Blond Agent, STEM Guy at May 06, 2024 05:33 PM (/HDaX)

edge effect is a biological term, and refers to the interface between two biotas. The exciting thing is that is where the majority of your biological activity is going on, in the interfaces.
