Dr. John Haltigan sought a professorship in psychology at the University of California when he ran into the university’s diversity, equity, and inclusion screening process for faculty hiring. Failure to pledge devotion to the DEI mantra is fatal to any prospect of employment. Yet he refused to capitulate. As a matter of principle, Haltigan objects to the DEI orthodoxy and is committed to “colorblind inclusivity,” “viewpoint diversity,” and “merit-based promotion.”
