Cambridge University ‘Discriminates’ Against White Job Seekers
Cambridge University has been accused of anti-white bias after telling departments to ensure every interview shortlist includes a candidate from an “under-represented group”. The Telegraph has the story.
The “diverse recruitment framework” further encourages recruiters to readvertise positions if the longlist of candidates “is not diverse”, such as if it is all white or male.
The guidance, currently in use at the university, also says interview panels should be “diverse both in gender and race” and composed of individuals who have taken training courses in equality, diversity, inclusion and unconscious bias. …
Documents seen by the Telegraph show that the guidance, first issued in 2019, is copied word for word in “hiring instructions” sent to academics involved in recruitment processes at the university.
The framework advises academics that recruitment panels should not be made up entirely of “white males” or “people with a particular career track record”.
It reads: “Conduct the shortlisting with more than one person on the panel, ideally forming the panel that is diverse both in gender and race if possible.
“Research shows that when the final applicant pool has only one minority candidate, they are unlikely to be offered the position: try to ensure that more than one candidate from under-represented groups is invited to [the] interview stage.
“If the longlist is not diverse, you do not have to appoint someone immediately, consider readvertising the position to encourage a more diverse shortlist.”
Elsewhere, it says all members of recruitment panels “must have completed the online University modules on E&D [equality and diversity] and Understanding Unconscious Bias”.
Those involved in hiring decisions are also told to “reflect” on the university’s diversity commitments, “their own biases” and the potential for “implicit bias” before interviews and after selecting a favoured candidate.
A source familiar with the workings of Cambridge’s diversity committee said members were told “don’t worry about it” when they raised questions about the policies’ legality. …
They went on to claim that they had witnessed colleagues from backgrounds that are not under-represented – such as white people and men – being actively discouraged from applying to positions because of their race or sex.

It’s not anti white bias it’s RACISM!

None of this would be possible without the traitor class, Dings. This applies to various contexts: replacement project, Scamdemic, Transtifa…the amount of people devoid of an intact moral compass who’d stab you in the back as soon as look at you is frightening really. They surround us now and history is littered with them.
Spot on Mogs.
Fully agree with both of you
It’s getting harder and harder to distinguish AI from reality, however, I think this clip might have more than a grain of truth in it, regarding what the future of the UK ( and France, Germany, Sweden etc ) is on course to look like;

Whenever people mention Oxford and Cambridge Universities now, my immediate reaction is one of revulsion. I hope both institutions fade and die.
They’re destroying themselves, so it won’t be too long.
Obsessed by race and sex, but only when it suits their Marxist agenda.
So why the Hell did you waste your own and everyone else’s time, effort and resources starting the recruitment process? You either have a job that needs doing and needs someone to do it, or you don’t.
According to the Marxo-fascists, whites are world poisoners, trash people who have to be eliminated if the world is to be saved. “Diversity” (i.e conformity to the Marxo-fascist world-view) is essential in order carry out the anti-white program.

This is not a secure system because their ideology forces them to assume that a person can self-identify. If you identify as a black transgender lesbian then they can’t argue with that. So just put it on your application form. There is nothing wrong with playing dirty when you are dealing with these people.
Universities were once institutions of excellence but are now just sesspools of far left wokism.
Universities have largely become redundant. The majority of degrees are worthless and no longer grant the student a better income than the non-university trained. They are selling visas not education. The degrees on offer need to match workplace demand. Why do we continue to have a shortage of doctors and nurses? Because we are not training enough.
This is why I referred to Cambridge as a quango in my recent piece here on The Daily Sceptic. Because, despite being illegal, this is enforced by higher education regulatory bodies.
