On July 4th, a group of Princeton faculty, mostly consisting of Black professors, wrote a letter to the university with nearly 50 demands, all as part of an effort to combat "anti-Black racism."
The letter was written to Princeton President Christopher Eisgruber, Provost Deborah Prentice, Deans Sanjeev Kulkarni and Jill S. Dolan, Vice President for Campus Life W. Rochelle Calhoun, and members of the Princeton Cabinet.
"Anti-Black racism has a visible bearing upon Princeton’s campus makeup and its hiring practices," the letter said. "It is the problem that faculty of color are routinely called upon to remedy by making ourselves visible; by persuading our white colleagues to overcome bias in hiring, admission, and recruitment efforts; and by serving as mentors and support networks for junior faculty and students seeking to thrive in an environment where they are not prioritized."

The ivies do better than most, but there aren’t enough qualified black applicants.

Sounds like a good start.

Won’t be long before arrest records are removed from all hiring applications.

They need to be rewarded for their "invisible work."
There really are no limits to how leftists will twist langauge.

How big of an idiot do you have to be to believe that Princeton is discriminatory against black people? If anything, they bend over backwards to hire them so they can yap about how diverse they are.

They've tried these policies and it ends up hurting non-violent black americans looking for jobs.

Princeton is a fancy version of Community College.
Let'em have that garbage.

12. Be explicit about the University’s policy towards non-DACAmented undocumented applicants. While the University has supported DACAmented applicants and admits, its policies towards undocumented applicants without DACA are deliberately and unacceptably ambiguous—to the frustration of applicants and faculty alike.
How is this for explicit? They are here illegally.

13. Reconsider the use of standardized testing (SAT, GRE, etc.), which research shows to be strongly correlated with the underrepresentation of people of color on college campuses.
I'd be ok with this.

Acknowledge on the homepage that the University is sited on indigenous land, as many Canadian universities do.
Nope. They lost. The way the world has always been. To the victor go the spoils. If you have an issue with then turn back time and change the entire fabric of history starting with the first battle between two feuding tribes.

15. Remove questions about misdemeanors and felony convictions from admissions applications, and all applications to work and/or study at Princeton. In recognition that mass incarceration and predatory policing not only menace the safety of all people of color at the University and their families but also hinder our community's progress towards racial justice, heed the Princeton Faculty Call to Action to Divest from Private Prison and Detention Corporations.
YAY, more pedophiles, rapists, and career criminals

Sounds discriminatory.

5. Reward the invisible work done by faculty of color with course relief and summer salary. As of the fall of the 2019-20 academic year, faculty of color make up only 7% of the laddered faculty, according to figures provided by the Office of Institutional Research, but they are routinely called upon to exert influence in hiring committees and to stand as emblems and spokespersons of diversity at Princeton. Being required to chiefly and constantly "serve" and "represent" in the interest of administrative goals robs the imagination and interrupts any possibility of concerted thought. Faculty of color hired at the junior level should be guaranteed one additional semester of sabbatical on top of the one-in-six provision (and on top of any leave awarded through University or Bicentennial Preceptorships).
So the people who were hired as tokens resent being asked to perform as tokens? Got it.
