I got yer diversity statement right here...

Interesting.
From the article:
*In reality, “diversity statements” will be in practice “uniformity statements” of adherence to a uniform view of diversity.Overall, only diversity statements that adhere to a uniform statement of allegiance to a uniform leftist/liberal/Marxist/progressive view of group identity, group victimization, and a claim for group-based entitlements in higher education will enhance and advance a candidate’s application. Failure to profess allegiance and conform to a uniform, orthodox diversity agenda, an agenda that ignores the most important diversity in higher education –intellectual and viewpoint diversity – will doom an applicant’s job prospects.*
Or, more succinctly in the comments section:
Thank God this brave fellow had the balls to stand up to the entrenched academic mob.I had the same issue back in the 1990's, though at that time it was much more implicit. I finally had to walk away.
