After months of criticism from Harvard professors and high-profile donors, the elite university has announced that it will no longer require diversity statements for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences . Instead of requiring a DEI statement for a tenure-track at Harvard, applicants will be asked to send a 'service statement,' as flagged by Steven McGuire, a fellow at the American Council of Trustees and Alumni.
' Harvard Kennedy School historian Khalil Gibran Muhammad attacked the decision, arguing that the removal of DEI statements from the application process 'may discourage applicants who are the strongest supporters of DEI to not apply for a job at Harvard given the broader context for this change,' The Boston Globe reported. Former Harvard Dean Lawrence Summers celebrated the news on Monday.
