This. When they tell you you must hire a DEI, tell them to eff off and hire the best person for the job. Just disobey.The famail job market candidates are not to blame, and they should not be unfairly attacked. We all should hammer the femails just as much, and not a bit more than the males.
The way to fight the DEI sc'u'm is to attack the admin/bureaucrat shystariat. The shystariat is pushing the DEI agenda, you strike them, you strike the DEI.
Thats career suicide. Suggest better alternatives
Of course it is not a "career suicide". They cannot fire you without reason even in Turdlandistan, or rather they can fire you, but then you can sue them for lots of pounderinos.
Not implementing insane and in many jurisdictions illegal DEI policies is not a reason for firing that any court would accept.
They will fire you for title ix violations. Suddenly you will receive a notice of title ix violations. You will have to stand trial without access to a lawyer and without the ability to cross examine witnesses. After hundreds of hours of investigations, a short purple hair student will claim you engaged in saxual violence against her. She will tell how once in lecture you insisted on a gender binary in one of your regression models, which is literal violence. Others will step up with similar allegations. You will then be let go for saxual violence, for a pattern of creating a hostile environment due to saxual violence.
