SUNY Oswego Requires DEI Statements for Several New Hires
“Applicants must submit a cover letter, DEI statement, resume, and contact information for professional references.”
This school clearly didn’t get the memo. They’re not supposed to be doing this.

NY college requires DEI statements for physics lecturer, construction coordinator, X-ray researcher
The State University of New York at Oswego (SUNY Oswego) is requiring applicants for at least nine job openings to submit written statements affirming their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
The university job listings include a physics lecturer, construction project coordinator, news reporter, and X-ray research associate.
“As a candidate seeking consideration you are asked to submit a separate statement specifically addressing how your commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion has been evidenced in your career experience and professional activity, and/or community service (volunteer work, etc.), and/or professional development,” the job listings state.
Applicants must submit a cover letter, DEI statement, resume, and contact information for professional references.
Other open positions that require a DEI statement include an assistant professor of computer science, assistant director of group counseling treatment, assistant director for equity and social justice, and professional development facilitator.
The job posting for the news reporter/producer position at SUNY Oswego’s broadcast news station lists a “commitment to diversity and inclusion in professional work, professional development, and service” as a required qualification.
For the physics lecturer role, applicants must demonstrate a “clearly articulated understanding and commitment to equity, inclusion, [and] diversity issues.” Preferred qualifications include “experience teaching Physics and Astronomy courses to a diverse undergraduate audience.”
All nine job listings reference SUNY Oswego’s Strategic Diversity and Inclusion Plan, which outlines goals to increase diversity in faculty and staff through hiring practices that implement DEI.
The plan says “administration, faculty and staff will work with new recruitment strategies established by the Affirmative Action Officer and Human Resource Director to increase diversity.”

Note that the hard sciences are not included from this. Everyone is required to prove they have drunk the kool aid and loved the taste.
Oswego is my alma mater. I have been donating annually to the school since the 1980’s. That stops now.
Most likely some secretarial drone simply cut and pasted the email they were sending out last year, without expending the effort to check their work.
There are very stupid people running quite a few of these institutes of higher learning. They have to learn things are different now the hard way, and we owe it to our kids to make that happen. I work in an academic setting, and the real craziness isn’t coming from the relatively few radical faculty and their student drones, it’s coming from an apathetic majority who really believe all this will go away if they just ignore it.
