I’m an undergraduate student at Southern Methodist University: amazing university that is thankfully overwhelmingly White and affluent (3rd wealthiest student body in the U.S. with over 1/3 of student’s parents making over $780,000 a year). The business program is still unofficially 75% White, but I’m concerned more Indians are starting to come to our Masters programs. We are on the last high ranking culturally right-wing business programs without diversity
It's already illegal and they just do it anyway. It's too hard to prove and too risky for most people to challenge it. Even if this lawsuit is successful, the people responsible will likely not feel any effect. If you read it, it says this is actually the SECOND lawsuit against this department, first one was settled out of court which is basically a loss for SMU. Not only did nothing happen to the people responsible (not even a demotion), they kept on doing the same thing. A better solution would just eliminate the Civil Rights Act and make discrimination legal for whites as well.
one of the things that is horrible but hugely entertaining about your work is the way that greediness is the fatal flaw. Be a nepotist, sure, but maybe DON'T give every department award to your son AND tank the tenure app of the handsome Chad East Asian who outperforms everybody in his faculty cohort
Be a crooked journal editor, sure, but don't pretend you are a co-author on dozens and dozens of papers published in your own journal and /or with authors who publish in your journal
I mean ideally don't be nepotistic or crooked. But if you must and you don't want to get caught, don't be so GREEDY when you do.
This is a very interesting column because it illustrates on a small scale what is happening to our communities related to tribalism as practiced by other nations. I happen to be an SMU alumna from 50 years ago. I know in the past thirty years the push to diversify the faculty was strident and largely pushed by liberal factions within the Methodist church. In doing so, as typical of academia, SMU overreacted and the result was a new type of faculty bias. You see similar things happening in Richardson, where long time Chinese American groups that settleed there in the 1970's are finding themselves displaced by newer residents from predominantly Muslim countries. The friction has been polite, so far, but there is still friction. SMU is going to have to tread lightly on this because right now UTD is attraction more of the Korean and Chinese American students. But the bottom line is Desai is a poor department head who is using trabalism as a means to maintaining control.
sample size of 2 is quite small for acceptance rate for him to make a statistical argument. This probably is not public, but it would be better to see the nationality of those rejected on the other two search committees. If the research status claims are true then this is insane. I see this a lot at my university when it comes to awarding graduate research grants. It is very easy to get on a good grant if you know someone of the same nationality.
It's anecdotal, but that "rate my processor" comment is pretty damning. I never see comments like that in student evals. The whole body of evidence together is very convincing even though the statistical evidence is weak. Considering the endorsements of his research come from full professors within the school willing to stick their necks out for this says a lot...it's says it's egregious, and those professors are mad. Mad enough to make life more difficult for themselves.
Hard to take this seriously. Worked at three fortune 100 companies where the Chinese were very aggressive about hiring only Chinese. They had their own break rooms (the foods, the volume of noise, the angry-sounding speech drove others away). At one, in an advanced product group, many of the documents were in Chinese so of course that was all Chinese. Why is this prof surprised when other groups would act the same way?

Breaking up any and all race based hiring cartels is a service to humanity.
No, the solution is to admit that the West is White and hire accordingly.

American immigration policy - importing conflicts from around the world…

That comment is most likely from him
I doubt it. He sounds smart enough not to do a petty anonymous review that could tank his career.

Undergrad from Duke suggests to me that this guy is Chinese-American not Chinese from China.
Ha!
The future of BRICS?!
