Administrations and faculties at University of California campuses are embroiled in a searing controversy over requirements that applicants for faculty positions and candidates for promotion prove their active support, without reservation, of what\u2019s called \u201cdiversity, equity and inclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Candidates must submit \u201cDEI statements\u201d that, under UC\u2019s policies, determine whether they will be considered for employment or promotions, regardless of their academic credentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While different campuses use slightly different “rubrics” for judging candidates on their DEI statements, they generally use a 1-to-5 scale to determine whether they should be allowed to advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uno, at UC-Davis,<\/a> provides the lowest score to candidates who seem to be unaware or uninterested in the need to promote diversity, while the highest score would be given to someone who “discusses diversity, equity, and inclusion as core values that every
faculty member should actively contribute to advancing.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another version, according to a recent history<\/a> of UC\u2019s Advancing Faculty Diversity Initiative, establishes a 1-to-5 scoring system to judge whether the applicant should be rejected out of hand or allowed to advance. If he or she refuses to discuss gender or ethnicity issues, or contends that such issues are \u201cantithetical to academic freedom or the university\u2019s research mission,\u201d they will automatically receive a low score. In contrast, someone who embraces DEI as \u201ccore values that every faculty member should actively contribute to advancing\u201d should get the highest score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One UC Merced professor, Tanya Golash-Boza, even published a guide in the professional publication Inside Higher Ed, to help applicants frame their DEI statements in language that would pass muster with the authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of DEI statements began at UCLA four years ago and has become virtually universal since, sparking an intense debate <\/a>in academic and legal circles over whether the UC system is, in effect, elevating political correctness over academic achievement and in doing so damaging the concept of academic freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To its supporters, DEI statements and other evaluations <\/a>are necessary tools to ensure that the university system overcomes its historic imbalance in students and faculty that favors whites and Asians over Blacks and Latinos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But detractors see DEI statements as violating in spirit, if not in letter, university policies that prohibit using politics as a litmus test \u2014 policies that were introduced to counter Cold War-era efforts to weed out faculty members with leftist tendencies by forcing them to take loyalty oaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1950, the Legislature passed the Levering Act, requiring all state employees to sign such oaths \u2014 a move obviously directed at the UC faculty. In fact, 31 tenured professors were fired for refusing to sign it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After years of legal and political wrangling, the state Supreme Court, by a 6-1 vote, declared the Levering Act to be unconstitutional in 1967. Meanwhile, the UC Board of Regents adopted a policy that \u201cNo political test shall ever be considered in the appointment and promotion of any faculty member or employee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DEI statements were mandated campus by campus because the UC system\u2019s administrators are under intense pressure from the Legislature, the Board of Regents and activist organizations to overcome ethnic imbalances in spite of voter approval of a ballot measure, Proposici\u00f3n 209<\/a>, in 1996 that outlaws racial or gender preferences in public employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, in 2020 the state\u2019s voters<\/a>, by a substantial margin, refused to repeal Proposition 209.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The history of how DEI statements became a powerful tool to weed out faculty applicants who don\u2019t conform is explored in a recently published and somewhat critical but remarkably objective monograph<\/a> by two academic researchers affiliated with UC\u2019s Riverside campus. They are Steven Brint, a professor of sociology and public policy, and Komi T. German, who earned her doctorate at UC Riverside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe find ourselves with a university in flux,\u201d the two conclude. \u201cIts commitment to the representational mission, and the progressive political demands that accompany it, is gaining traction as many find themselves disillusioned with the traditional mission of dispassionately searching for truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The irony \u2014 and perhaps tragedy \u2014 of the DEI statement mandate is that while it might, at least in theory, make UC\u2019s faculty more diverse in ethnicity, its conformism will make it even less diverse intellectually.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Comenz\u00f3 a cubrir la pol\u00edtica de California en 1975, justo cuando Jerry Brown comenz\u00f3 su primer per\u00edodo como gobernador, y comenz\u00f3 a escribir su columna en 1981, primero para Sacramento Union durante tres a\u00f1os, luego para The Sacramento Bee durante 33 a\u00f1os y ahora para CalMatters desde 2017.

Es un invitado frecuente en programas de radio y ocasionalmente aparece en la televisi\u00f3n nacional, comentando temas de California. Walters comenz\u00f3 su carrera en 1960 en el Humboldt Times en Eureka, California, un mes antes de cumplir 17 a\u00f1os, primero como asistente de redacci\u00f3n y luego como reportero de la polic\u00eda.
