On: MIT abandons requirement of DEI statements for hir...

[lupire]

Did you know that prospective faculty also have to write a statement about their research, teaching, and service when they apply for a job? Is that also conspicuously performatively doing the right thing in those job responsibilities?

Do they have to actually follow through and deliver concretely on those things? With some expected concrete impact?

If so, then I wouldn’t consider them performative at least.

(Maybe conspicuously doing what is perceived as the right thing is how people get hired…)
