That changes nothing. Your “based on their qualifications and performance rather than on factors unrelated to their jobs” is standard conservative rhetoric opposing any kind of affirmative efforts to diversify. And the “diversity of thought” nonsense is standard GOP language objecting to supposed liberal bias in higher ed. You still can’t say whether you support Juneteenth, Pride and similar events? If not, just say so. Your non-answer seems quite clear. To be clear, your conservative positions are legitimate, but why evade questions?

Yes, I’ve read that, but your coalition is deservedly considered the O&G slate, and your choice to omit 12 years of your work experience is obviously strategic.
