46. "Easier said than done (re: more black faculty)" In response to In response to 35
There aren't enough qualified black professors out there to meet the demand these protesters are calling for. In my field, there are so few of us that we pretty much all know each other.
From this source there are 37 tenured faculty (http://www.ksl.com/?nid=157&sid=32903617). They want to double this within two years. There might be little over 37 new faculty positions available in that span of time. They basically want all new faculty members to be black. So unreasonable and irresponsible.
The proposal that 1 out of 3 job candidates is especially unreasonable as well. Because the number of qualified black candidates is so small, this is basically just handing out token interviews to unqualified candidates. That helps no one.
