Abstract: Job applicants should not be required as a condition of employment to profess their loyalty to partisan statements or beliefs. Yet universities that solicit statements of commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion from job applicants do precisely that. Both practitioners and critics of "diversity, equity, and inclusion" (DEI) know that it entails race-conscious discrimination practices and policies. Diversity statements assess job applicants for their support--indeed, their enthusiasm--for DEI beliefs, practices, and policies, and penalize individuals who doubt, criticize, or are unfamiliar with DEI's catechism. Diversity statements and other mandatory commitments to DEI abridge American ideals of liberty by compelling speech wherever they are imposed. They harm institutions of higher education by crippling the academic first principle that scholars and students should pursue truth in their research, teaching, and study. Universities that mandate assent to DEI, and measure enthusiasm for DEI as a means to select applicants for university positions, replace open discussion and the search for truth with compelled speech and the search to impose DEI policies on the university and the nation.
