Pit of a puzzle to me how one can say faculty *must* work to make their institutions more equal and inclusive, and then dismiss a request to sketch out how faculty do this work they *must* do as "purity tests" that open some mysterious yet unsavoury doors.

Oh, wait, here's how I should have written the above tweet:
I believe university faculty must work to make their institutions more equal and inclusive. #BUT.
I believe university faculty must work to make their institutions more equal and inclusive. #BUT.
What am I going to do with this ubiquitous #BUT structure. Should I write a paper about it? What kind of paper?
Here's a variation.
I am a big advocate for inclusivity and diversity in scientific research. #BUT.

What purity would be tested when you're asked to write a statement like this one here? 
Someone with an expiring membership in an academic org writes a blog post somewhere: "We have here the telos of equity & inclusion competing with the telos of no forced avowals or purity tests which open slippery doors. Faced with competing teloi, I must make a hard call!"
Evidently, I'm in a mischievous mood.
*Bit of a puzzle
Is what I meant to write.
"Pit of a puzzle" is the cute alliteration that my fingers typed out instead.
