FIRE: “After being alerted to mandatory ‘diversity’ requirements for faculty tenure, promotion, and personal development, the Board of Visitors at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) has agreed to fully review the school’s tenure and diversity policies. ‘Promoting one’s own view of diversity is one thing, but making narrowly defined and politicized views about diversity an ideological requirement for faculty members is quite another,’ FIRE President Greg Lukianoff said.”
