Election Thread

[Griselda]

I used to work for a local University, and sat on a few hiring committees. We had to run all of our hiring decisions through the affirmative action office, but never had any problems, even when hiring a "majority" candidate. There were never any quotas that we had to fill.

Edited to add- I think one of the reasons that the system worked so well for us was that we had a pretty coherent system of screening applicants and interviewees agreed upon in advance, so it was pretty clear that our decisions were based on the merits of the candidate.
