[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's a suggestion: stop asking people what " race " they are on every application, form and survey

Have job applicants apply by initials only with their CV

then have a selection of interviewees and choose.

Someone else can study the impacts, but it should work same way female authors got themselves published the last 100 years.

STOP choosing based on race. It does nothing to match the best qualified to the job

I agree with this.  Anonymizing resumes is not a new concept and many places do it.  And noting race on applications is used to do analysis AFTER the hire.  It is not in most case shared with with the people making the selection (and it is actually prohibited to do so with in most parts of the federal government.)

How do you propose handling the interview though?

The whole point of DE&I is to get people eventually to stop choosing on the basis of race.  That is, in fact, the historical problem they are trying to solve for.  The point is to attract a diverse applicant pool and to educate people about the subconscious ways preference may play a role in their decisions. [/quote]
