The Systemic Infiltration Of “DEI” At The University Of Missouri

     The Woke Left like to talk about “systems of oppression” and how racism, sexism, &c. is “systemic”. This is, of course, projection. The real “system of oppression” is the “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (i.e. the “DIE” agenda), and it is as systemic as can be.

DOCUMENTS: Through a records request, I have acquired the University of Missouri's rubric for evaluating diversity statements.

As usual, the rubric proves the critics' point: DEI evaluations invite viewpoint discrimination. pic.twitter.com/5FX9dCTg0e

As it turns out, Mizzou routinely uses diversity statements in hiring.

According to its Inclusive Excellence Plan, the College of Arts and Science has expanded its use of the statements. The college of agriculture has committed to using them for “all faculty applications.” pic.twitter.com/9evwgIC4Ro

     Ah, the privilege of being the totalitarian ideology that controls actual “systems”.

Mizzou’s Division of Biological Sciences (why is it always biology?) heavily weighs diversity statements.

Its website advertises its “equal weighting of the research, teaching, and inclusion and equity statements" in the first round of faculty job application reviews. pic.twitter.com/oc3fhTSXTj

Meanwhile, Mizzou’s training on “Best Practice for Inclusive Excellence in Faculty Hiring” encourages hiring committees to assess job candidates’ contributions to DEI using a pre-established rubric. pic.twitter.com/v9Fk4YeeJf

Again, the Mizzou rubric I obtained through a FOIA request perfectly illustrates how diversity statement policies invite viewpoint discrimination. pic.twitter.com/QhyG5gjZ6W

By now, it should be obvious that diversity statements will inevitably function as ideological litmus tests—and huge failures of priority.

Unfortunately, they’re alive and well at the University of Missouri.

Read the full story, and take a look at the rubric, at @MindingCampus. Through top-quality research and reporting, we're documenting the ways that DEI has invaded higher education to the detriment of our public and private universities.https://t.co/75vIlErdaP
