In the summer of 2023, ����ֱ�� became aware that the University of Colorado, Boulder was requiring applicants for certain faculty positions to submit statements describing how their scholarship “advance[s] diversity, equity, and inclusion.” The rubric for assessing those statements further required applicants to express a belief in and desire to be a strong advocate for particular forms of DEI, including expressing particular views about “[h]istorically minoritized groups.” ����ֱ�� wrote CU Boulder on September 7, 2023, explaining that having faculty express agreement with a specific ideology violates the First Amendment, and CU Boulder cannot reject or penalize applicants for failure to profess allegiance to any particular ideological position. On October 3, CU Boulder informed ����ֱ�� it would implement changes suggested by ����ֱ�� in the rubric, including incorporating diversity of thought and the value of different perspectives into its conception of DEI.
