Just wondering when diversity is balanced.

I guess the first part would be deciding how to measure diversity. Maybe put people into different buckets based on their skin color, sex, gender and disability status.

Then, the next part would be deciding if we want an even split or counts representative of the field (unless that's incorrect too) or maybe based on demographics.

The current precedent is that it’s fine to set short-term curative diversity targets and selectively hire towards them.
