diversity statements
Institutional equity declarations
Diversity statements are written declarations, typically required in academic job applications, describing a candidate's commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Applicants explain their philosophy and past efforts regarding underrepresented groups.
Critics view them as ideological litmus tests; supporters see them as legitimate assessments of teaching and mentorship capabilities.
The job posting required a research statement, teaching statement, and diversity statement.
