\u201cTheese eeese pure eediocy!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

–a German professor\u2019s response at a faculty meeting regarding accreditation recommendations to put an outreach program to attract female STEM students inside of an outreach program to attract female STEM students. The previous sentence is typed as intended.<\/em><\/p>\n

While people \u201con the inside\u201d of science can quickly answer the title of today’s essay with \u201cduh!\u201d and anyone paying attention realizes identity politics destroys everything it touches, a recent article answers the question by identifying how the destruction is wrought.<\/p>\n

How Identity Politics Is Harming the Sciences<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Identity politics has taken over many departments on campus. To be more clear, identity politics has taken over the administration of many campuses, and they control the hiring. Thus white males, for example, are shut out of many \u201cleadership\u201d positions, and many fiefdoms on campus (Hi Diversity Institutes!) strictly hire based on gender and race. Because admin controls hiring, this leads to \u201cwant ads\u201d even for scholars where race, gender, and political beliefs are prerequisites for scholarly positions.<\/p>\n

In certain departments (Hi African Studies! Hi Gender Studies!) it was easy enough to find scholars the right shade or possessing the right genitals, but when it comes to the sciences it\u2019s more difficult.<\/p>\n

The STEM fields\u2014science, technology, engineering, and math\u2014are under attack for being insufficiently \u201cdiverse.\u201d The pressure to increase the representation of females, blacks, and Hispanics comes from the federal government, university administrators, and scientific societies<\/strong> themselves.<\/em><\/p>\n

–Emphasis added. Any scientific society which believes possession of certain genitals is necessary for advancing scientific knowledge is highly suspect, and I wish the author had identified such societies.<\/em><\/p>\n

As long as I\u2019ve been in higher ed, there\u2019s always been a big push to increase representation of \u201cprotected minorities,\u201d even as far back as the 80s admin made it very clear that we could only reject such candidates if we could provide good reason (while white males\u2014among other races but always that gender–could be rejected out of hand, for being white and\/or male).<\/p>\n

Absent from this push has been any study showing that there\u2019s a clear advantage to having such bigotry in the hiring process\u2026no faculty wishing to keep his job ever dares ask that question, of course.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll across the country the big question now in STEM is: how can we promote more women and minorities by \u2018changing\u2019 (i.e., lowering) the requirements we had previously set for graduate level study?\u201d Mathematical problem-solving is being deemphasized in favor of more qualitative group projects; the pace of undergraduate physics education is being slowed down so that no one gets left behind.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve discussed in detail how much of what\u2019s called \u201ccollege\u201d today would be considered 9th grade material even a generation ago, and many campuses swirl students around in such pseudo-college courses until the student loan money runs out. Such fraud does wonders for administrative bank accounts but it does nothing for identity politics, which demands the hiring of scholars with certain skin colors or genitals.<\/p>\n

So, STEM programs are doing the only thing they can: water down the program. \u201cQualitative group projects\u201d is a double-red flag. Science cares little for \u201cqualitative\u201d work\u2026it deals in facts, or at least our best representation of facts. Similarly, \u201cgroup projects\u201d are just a device by which incapable students\u2019 incapabilities can be hidden by placing them in groups where the competent students can do the work.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s an accident at that chemical plant, we\u2019re screwed. There\u2019s not one person there who knows what they\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

–an old friend, an engineer, describing the situation at a nearby industrial complex. I\u2019ve several engineer friends who\u2019ve said the like these last few years.<\/em><\/p>\n

The gentle reader should keep in mind this stuff has been going on for some time now. Today it\u2019s relatively uncommon to see new bridges collapse or other catastrophes due to stupid mistakes made by the professionals coming out of these diluted STEM programs\u2026but I suspect we\u2019ll see a greater frequency of this in the coming years.<\/p>\n

The National Science Foundation (NSF), a federal agency that funds university research, is consumed by diversity ideology. Progress in science, it argues, requires a \u201cdiverse STEM workforce.\u201d Programs to boost diversity in STEM pour forth from its coffers in wild abundance.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ultimately the source of the racism and sexism on our campuses is coming from the money. The NSF will give you money and lots of it to hire a female scholar\u2026a male scholar is worth nothing.<\/p>\n

The tortuously named \u201cInclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science\u201d (INCLUDES) bankrolls \u201cfundamental research in the science of broadening participation.\u201d There is no such \u201cscience,\u201d just an enormous expenditure of resources that ducks the fundamental problems of basic skills and attitudes toward academic achievement. A typical INCLUDES grant from October 2017 directs $300,000 toward increasing Native American math involvement by incorporating \u201cindigenous knowledge systems\u201d into Navajo Nation Math Circles.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not trying to be a jerk or anything, and absolutely stone age cultures have relevant things to say about human understanding of mathematics but\u2026this is just pouring money into administrative pockets, while perhaps, maybe, giving calculators to Navajo children (which, incidentally, will do quite a bit of harm to their mathematical abilities).<\/p>\n

Again, the question comes to mind: where\u2019s the evidence this \u201cdiversity\u201d would help science?<\/p>\n

Somehow, NSF-backed scientists managed to rack up more than 200 Nobel Prizes before the agency realized that scientific progress depends on \u201cdiversity.\u201d Those \u201cun-diverse\u201d scientists discovered the fundamental particles of matter and unlocked the genetics of viruses…<\/em><\/p>\n

Considering this sort of track record, the \u201cdog not barking\u201d of nobody asking for evidence diversity here would be a good thing for science is deafening. This sort of lunacy also affects medicine:<\/p>\n

The National Institutes of Health are another diversity-obsessed federal science funder. Medical schools receive NIH training grants to support postdoctoral education for physicians pursuing a research career in such fields as oncology and cardiology. The NIH threatens to yank any training grant when it comes up for renewal if it has not supported a sufficient number of \u201cunderrepresented minorities\u201d (URMs).<\/em><\/p>\n

How is this not racist? They are literally denying opportunities based on skin color. There are quite literally human lives at stake here, and still nobody is asking the question about \u201cwhy do we suspect increased diversity will be a good thing?\u201d<\/p>\n

I grant the answer is obvious enough: because there\u2019s more money for diversity.<\/p>\n

The research money can only go to diversity-approved research projects. This will obviously warp our medical research. Maybe it should be warped, but shouldn\u2019t we have a better justification than \u201cthere\u2019s more money for it\u201d?<\/p>\n

Just as the bulk of student loan money does nothing for education, and simply flows into administrative pockets, the same thing happens with the \u201cdiversity\u201d money:<\/p>\n

TEM departments are creating their own internal diversity enforcers. The engineering school at UCLA minted its first associate dean of diversity and inclusion in 2017, despite already being subject to enormous pressures from UCLA\u2019s fantastically remunerated Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and other bureaucrats.<\/em><\/p>\n

Diversity deanlings typically make $100,000 or more even at small schools. The salary of the above Vice Chancellor is over $444,000<\/a> now, and doesn\u2019t include the fantastic perks these guys get (or golden parachutes and retirement programs after a handful of years which would make dictators of small countries blush with shame).<\/p>\n

\u201cDiversity\u201d is now an explicit job qualification in the STEM fields. A current job listing for a lecturer in biology at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst announces that because diversity is \u201ccritical to the university\u2019s goals of achieving excellence in all areas,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Because these racist\/sexist hiring policies are (technically) illegal, there are now workarounds to making job postings racists and sexist in their hiring requirements. It takes little effort to see I\u2019m not imagining things:<\/p>\n

The University of California at San Diego physics department advertised an assistant-professor position several years ago with a \u201cspecific emphasis on contributions to diversity,\u201d \u2026All five candidates on UC San Diego\u2019s short list were females, leading one male candidate with a specialty in extragalactic physics to wonder why the school had even solicited applications from Asian and white men.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve often wondered if I could get a good administrative position if I self-identify as a protected gender\/race. I\u2019ll probably never go through with an experiment testing that hypothesis, however.<\/p>\n

Bottom line, the destruction being wrought on the sciences is being done with the same tool which has done so much harm to higher education: money, great quantities of money handed over for no good reason at all.<\/p>\n
