Posted at Minding the Campus today is an excellent piece by Daphne Patai. She writes about the kinds of questions her school (UMass-Amherst) thinks it appropriate to ask candidates for faculty positions — questions that would filter out any candidate who doesn’t believe in the whole diversity/victimization agenda (or at least can’t convincingly pretend to).

I think this blows to smithereens the often-repeated idea that faculty hiring isn’t about politics and there is no discrimination against non-leftists.
