: DiscriminationsNew Haven Firemen May Help Extinguish Smoldering University Discrimination
My title is a bad take off on Roger Clegg?s more eloquent Dousing the Fires of Racial Discrimination, in which he argues persuasively that Ricci v. DeStefano poses a substantial threat to standard ?diversity? hiring discrimination practiced by universities.
Colleges and universities sometimes conduct a search to fill a faculty opening but then decline to hire anyone from the pool of finalist candidates because the school really wanted to hire someone from an ?underrepresented? group, none of whose members made the cut.
