We have a team to promote diversity in our department...everyone on the team is straight and white. This really blows my mind.

Maybe look at the results of the committee before judging them based solely on their immutable characteristics? Also these kinds of things tend to be add-ons to your existing job, are you saying that underrepresented minorities have to take on extra work because of who they are?

Oh for the love, of course not. If you want to have a team provide recos and take action on creating diversity, you need diverse opinions and backgrounds.

How do you know they’re all straight?

All are married or dating people of the opposite sex, based on that, I am taking a wild guess...

This team could just be checking the box of D&I so wait a year to see if they actually do anything and if they are even around after a while.

Bingo! Nothing has changed since this group was created.

Lots of right wing hysteria about liberals trying to engineer equality of outcome to correct sexual/racial inequities (in higher ed, for example). I think we all want socioeconomic, gender and racial barriers to opportunities to be addressed, but no significant number of people really believe in equality of outcome right? This is just a straw man argument.

Hey Gente, Im applying for jobs and I wanted to get others opinion on the race part of the application process. As an indigenous LatinX I worry that if I put indigenous it won’t tick the “diversity” box for the algorithm or recruiters. I work with (not in) the I&D dept at my company and our target recruiting groups don’t include or mention indigenous. Any recruiters here that have insight?

Our annual reviews are approaching & one of my direct reports has been with us for almost six years w/ little growth. My reco was to let him go & find a stronger, hungrier & more motivated designer at the same level. However, my boss instead wants us to promote him in hopes that will spark some motivation. I am not behind this decision & have voiced my multitude of concerns in promoting an employee who doesn't deserve it. HR is behind the decision! Thoughts on promoting an undeserving report?
