It doesn’t look good for this ASU spokesman. As you recall, an ASU spokesman told The Sun Times that ASU does not require DEI statements for job applications. The Arizona Legislature needs to ask ASU about this. I am posting the link below for the ASU job postings. I choose two, an English and Psychology faculty.
Both positions and both require DEI statements. You can look at more if you’d like. But even one is enough to prove ASU’s spokesman wrong. The Arizona Legislature needs to ask ASU this as part of its investigation. Here is the Arizona Revised Statute for making false statements to a public servant concerning an official proceeding. I am also including two videos showing that these job applications require DEI statements and the links to the faculty positions web page so you can check for yourself and to the Az Revised Statutes.
We know from the recent Supreme Court decision that universities will no longer be allowed to get away with racism. I expect these DEI statements will also be tested in court.
