‘If you can’t measure it, you can’t fix it’

 

Center-right scholars have developed a measurement tool “scorecard” that allows students, parents, taxpayers and legislators to determine how embedded diversity, equity and inclusion principles (DEI) and practices are at a given institution.

 

It will “allow stakeholders to assess the damage already done and identify areas for action,” said Portland State University Professor Bruce Gilley in a news release that called the tool a way to measure DEI “sickness” levels at colleges and universities.

 

Gilley is chapter president of the Oregon Association of Scholars, which developed the tool along with the National Association of Scholars.

The tool consists of a list of 36 items that colleges typically engage in, such as: requiring DEI statements for new hires; mandatory DEI trainings and orientations; equity grading mandates; land acknowledgements in university documents; DEI directors among top leadership; campus police trained in DEI-based citation and research methods; and optional pass/no pass allowances or other “de-grading” methods.

Observers mark a “scorecard,” with one point given for each DEI practice identified.
