re: Job application wants a "contributions to diversity statement"

Not new to academia, but this is the first time I've had to write a diversity statement to apply for a position at one.

"The modern-day purview of diversity represents little more than a false dichotomy of mankind in which the arbitrary and superficial physical characteristics of an individual or group supersede the ideals, values, and behaviors thereof, and serves to uphold an anachronistic notion that has long been abdicated by the mid-20th century civil rights movement."

Sucks that the Cali job didn't pan out (I believe that was you).
Good luck, I don't think I could make myself write a diversity statement.

Discuss diversity of ideas such as disseminating knowledge with people from different schools, states, or countries.

That was me with the Cali job, said I didn't have enough experience.
I wish I didn't have to write this crap, it's all lies anyhow. I think I will just give them two pages of nonsense with big words like someone suggested.

This is why academia is such a false reality. Diversity of ideas is desirable. Diversity of ethnic and/or gender by itself offers nothing. This political correct, revisionist history, and leftist leading mentality will ultimately doom the brick and mortar academic institutions.
People from diverse backgrounds generally have diverse ideas about things...

Dude all of these kinds of statements, like teaching philosophies, are mostly nonsense. Just google how to write it.

this cannot be serious, can it?

"I enjoy Indian food, but not with pepper spray, because I don't like it that spicy. I also have been known to mingle in social settings with peers of darker skin, and the vernacular I gained from these interactions will be valuable in the classroom when interacting with students of all backgrounds. I prefer to separate the lights and darks when I do my laundry, but sometimes when I'm in a hurry I just throw them all in together and see what happens."

Just write that you are appalled that they are racist enough to ask this of a minority. Doesn't matter if you are white as snow. Just imply that you are a minority. They will hire you as Chancellor just to avoid the potential for a diversity claim lawsuit.
