Up to 80 percent of faculty and staff positions at Arizona’s three public universities now require applicants to subscribe to diversity, equity and inclusion statements, according to a new Goldwater Institute report.
These statements are now mandatory in 81 percent of job postings at Arizona State University, 73 percent at Northern Arizona University, and 28 percent at the University of Arizona, according to the report.
The DEI statements range from a one-paragraph formality to a requirement of up to two pages of activist history and plans for the future, the Goldwater Institute found.
