Are diversity statements a threat to academic freedom?
An important question addressed by FAIR Advisor Jonathan Haidt in a podcast with Erwin Chemerinsky (Dean Berkeley Law) and HKS Fellow Kenneth Roth.
“Dean of Berkeley Law Erwin Chemerinsky makes the case for diversity statements, while NYU’s Jonathan Haidt argues against them. We go back to when professors took a stand against anti-communism. And former head of Human Rights Watch Kenneth Roth recounts his own fight for academic freedom.”
