Always wonder why schools don’t openly promote and celebrate diversity hiring, as if that’s a bad thing.
We should celebrate diversity hires like how we celebrate first gen college graduates, immigrants, and self-made millionaires.
Getting a job as diversity hire is such an achievement for our society as a whole (as well as for themselves). It shows our society capable of balancing interests. Denying diversity hiring or not openly celebrating it is nothing but stigmatizing diversity hires.
