Washington Post urges universities to get rid of DEI statements: 'Self-censorship'

The Washington Post editorial board argued on Sunday that colleges and universities should eliminate DEI statements, because they often result in "self censorship."

Potential university hires explain how they might advance DEI in their position at the university in these statements.  Hanna Panreck is an associate editor at Fox News.

DEI statement requirements are often "vague," according to the Post, and therefore, teaching candidates often find themselves anticipating the university's political leanings. The editors noted that university faculty are "disproportionately left-leaning."
