"Diversity Hire": Claudine Gay and Future of DEI

Harvard's first black president, Claudine Gay, resigned recently following several controversies over the past few months. But the real controversy, at least for this episode of Immigrantly, is the fact that regarding her resignation, conservatives (from billionaires to politicians) have been denouncing Gay as a "diversity hire."  If you're unfamiliar with the term, this is the perfect episode to listen to. Today, I'll be breaking down what "diversity hire" means, why it's harmful, and how it relates to a larger conversation around DEI or Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. Resources: Books discussing DEI and relevant topics:  https://peoplemanagingpeople.com/topics/organizational-culture/dei/dei-books/   Documentaries on Race and culture that can enrich DEI conversations: https://about.colum.edu/diversity-equity-inclusion/resources/films Two Banned Books lists:  https://www.library.cmu.edu/about/news/2023-10/banned-books-week-2023 https://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/top10  Immigrantly is a weekly podcast that celebrates the extraordinariness of immigrant life.
