So past woke orthodoxy must be demonstrated and future woke orthodoxy must be promised.
Yep.
You gotta love the "foster … individual difference" when every other statement of "qualifications" signals that judgment will be made according to a group affiliation: race, gender, sexual preference, etc.
In this hirer's judgment, one wonders, how many cis gender, white, middle aged or "old" males would be considered likely to contribute to "a culture of diversity and pluralism" at this institution?
Or, would such candidates be considered enemies of the "people" by reason of their ethnicity, race, gender preference and age, and rejected out of hand without regard to ability?
