UC Berkeley rejected 76% of applicants based on the DEI statement alone[1].

I think that’s consistent with the example that I gave. I suspect someone who said “I plan to give all multiple choice exams in order to simplify grading.” in their teaching statement would likely get a poor rating?

(The 76% refers to applications to an “Advancing diversity” grant program, so it seems a bit duplicitous to suggest it represents happens in faculty hiring?)


hm, standardized test are better for diversity, no?


They are, but that's not the motivation given in the example.
