Increasingly, universities are screening candidates for professorships on their commitment to "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI). In 2018, Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Heather Mac Donald drew attention, in a "Los Angeles Times" op-ed, to the decision at the University of California, Los Angeles, (UCLA) to require statements from all faculty applicants documenting their contributions to DEI, which would be weighted with the rest of their application portfolio. As of 2019, eight of 10 University of California (UC) campuses required these statements. At the University of California, Berkeley, administrators published a sample "Rubric for Assessing Candidate Contributions to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging," which provides guidance for search committees evaluating applicants.3 Under this rubric, applicants are evaluated on a 1-5 scale for knowledge of DEI, track record of DEI, and plans for advancing DEI. Anecdotal evidence suggests mandated diversity statements are indeed becoming routine. But there have been no empirical investigations into the frequency with which such statements are required nor how they vary across academic disciplines, geographic regions, type of faculty position, and university prestige. This report represents the first empirical examination of this question.
