University of Washington investigation discovers race was wrongly considered in faculty hire
Fox News
The University of Washington's investigation into the psychology department found race was considered as a factor in the hiring of an assistant professor.
"The review was completed in September and indicates that race was inappropriately considered and used in a way that is inconsistent with University policy in the hiring process for an assistant professor position in the department. Race was inappropriately considered in the hiring process even after some faculty received guidance from College of Arts & Sciences and University leadership that such considerations are inappropriate," the statement stated.

Dianne Harris, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, requested a review of the department’s hiring practices after several concerns were reported. Joshua focuses on politics, education policy ranging from the local to the federal level, and the parental uprising in education.
