So 2 positions, in a team that is most likely already full of straight white males. And probably are necessary in order to get diverse perspective on the development of the AI research.
You guys really want to play the victim at every opportunity, don’t you?

I don’t think this is about being a victim.
While I understand the reasoning for the University to want to post with these criteria, the method used is basically fighting discrimination with discrimination. If there are under-represented social groups that aren’t applying to these jobs, where they have to block applicants of a small subset of the population, the issues aren’t solved at all, they’re just ignored.

I’m trying to understand this comment. How does hiring under-represented social groups not address the issue of certain social groups being under-represented in hiring?
