You think there really should be active quotas for 'non-whites'?

Have you no shame? Come back with some research that has depth and meaning.

Why is it shameful to employ white people?

Absolutely correct. The OP would need to know how many non-whites applied for each position, how candidates were chosen for interviews, and all of the candidates performed in interviews to figure out whether or not shame is justified. Maybe it is. But the list alone doesn't reveal that. |

Ok, before we jump all over the OP, let's have a look at the self-congratulatory information that BU lists on its own website: Celebrating our legacyBoston University was chartered in 1869 by Lee Claflin, Jacob Sleeper, and Isaac Rich, three successful Methodist businessmen whose abolitionist ideals led them to envision and create a university that was inclusive—that opened its doors to the world—and engaged in service to and collaboration with the city of Boston.
From the day of its opening, Boston University has admitted students of both sexes and every race and religion. It is with pride that we count Martin Luther King, Jr. among our alumni. What makes us prouder still is the fact that when he received his doctorate from the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in 1955, Dr. King was taking his place in a long line of individuals that stretches back to the University’s founding. Other notable alumni include the first woman to earn a Ph.D., the first woman admitted to the bar in Massachusetts, the first Native American to graduate with a doctorate in medicine, and the first African-American psychiatrist in the United States.
Here's the link: http://www.bu.edu/info/about/Some of us might call this lip service. I know this is perhaps my hobby horse on these pages, but higher education is all too self-satisfied with just how diverse and inclusive our profession is. I wouldn't call the numbers posted above the sign of active discrimination, but in my experience, the departments that can show off a truly diverse faculty have made an active effort to recruit such faculty. Most departments I've seen don't aspire to that. |

In any case, hard to tell what the OP might be up to.

The post is nonsense bordering on warts. If the OP wants to start a conversation about the difference between paying lip service and actually facilitating diversity then there are much better ways to do it. |
