Tbh, I knew what he likely meant. Just prefer people say what they mean.

The link you’ve shared doesn’t support the assertion you’ve made.




It does to me. The goal of achieving a workforce that is phenotypically representative of larger society (a goal of that department) is incompatible with the one of achieving a competent workforce. If the goals were compatible, there would be no need for such a department as it would just occur naturally through hiring the most competent workforce. The department exists because hiring the most competent workforce does not result in a workforce that is phenotypically representative of larger society.


That goal, as you’ve stated, is nowhere on the website. Thanks for clarifying your position though.
