The ivory tower (or the AAAS) can not let go of their ephemeral obsessions!
Diversity is an ideology exalting skin color based racism! E.g. it obviously flies in the face of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream" (content of their character).
To study indoctrinated "students, faculty, and staff at a public university" about diversity and equity is a strong indication of junk science (aka confirmation bias)!
"Two competing views of diversity exist in the US [???]: that diversity creates an inclusive culture and that diversity creates an exclusionary culture. As higher education faces an enrollment cliff, it is critical to understand the role of diversity in attracting and retaining students. Brown et al. investigated the implications of diversity on sense of belonging [???], an important component of retention and recruitment. Their results show that for faculty and students at a public university, feelings of belonging were positively associated with perceptions that the university valued diversity, supporting the inclusive view of diversity. As the US debates diversity, public institutions should consider that valuing diversity is associated with individuals expressing more belonging and, by extension, more motivation to stay at the university."
From the abstract:
"There are two schools of thought about how diversity and equity are related to inclusion.
The first argues that diversity and equity foster inclusion.
The second argues that diversity and equity engender exclusion.
The present research investigated the implications of diversity and equity’s relationship on a component of inclusion, the feeling of belonging, as it is critical for organizational retention and recruitment.
Studies 1 and 2 demonstrated that for students, faculty, and staff at a public university, feelings of belonging were positively associated with perceptions that the university valued diversity, which was related to campus environmental cues. Study 3 demonstrated that interns’ intentions to convert to a fulltime position were related to feeling like they belonged at their employer, which was related to the extent to which they perceived the employer fostered equity.
We discuss the implications of these findings for organizational retention and recruitment, especially as they relate to perceptions that the organization values diversity and equity."
