Yes this needs more adoption. Why aren't math papers being gauged for their DEI readiness before publication?!!? /s

Respectfully they should. Math papers against, fighting, or attacking DEI should be suspect.

This press piece is saying only research that advances DEI will be accepted. How many math papers on set theory do you know of whose results directly improve race relations?

suspect of what?

Wouldn't it be odd if a Math paper was pushing racist views?

what would be odd is people trying to re-define racism to attack math papers

the re-definition problem has been going on for a while in this sphere, if someone needs to control the definition of every aspect of a conversation, it basically shows they have no integrity

Math papers aren't opinion pieces or editorials.

Built on a house of straw? What are you trying to say?

hoping it will not deflate further the value of public education in favour of private institutions or R&D companies which could gatekeep even further public uni graduates from "performative diploma mills". "The road to hell is paved with good intentions" scenario
