🚨🚨 New @AEI report: @james_d_paul and Robert Maranto release the first empirical examination of just how prevalent #DEI statement requirements have become in #HigherEducation hiring. /THREAD bit.ly/3bT3vna

Nearly one in five #professors are now being selected based on not only academic merit but also their commitment to a particular ideological vision—and, due to conservative coding schemes, this number may be even higher. /1

19% of job postings studied require diversity statements, while 68% include the terms “diversity” or “diverse” in some fashion. /2

34% of job postings from elite colleges and universities, which comprised 28% of the sampled job postings, required DEI statements, compared to only 13% of job postings at non-elite institutions. /3

Roughly 24% of social science job postings require DEI statements, whereas only 18% of job postings in STEM and 17 % in other disciplines had these requirements. /4

27 % of jobs in the West require DEI statements, and 71 % mention diversity. By contrast, in the Southeast, only 13 % of jobs require DEI statements, and 63 % include the word “diversity.” /5

DEI requirements appear substantially less likely for adjunct jobs relative to other faculty positions. /6

For more, including whether differences in school prestige, region, and discipline are statistically significant predictors of DEI requirements, read the full report: bit.ly/3bT3vna. /End
