Do University Diversity Statement Requirements Violate the Constitution?

I strongly disagree with it, but I don't really see it as a constitutional thing. Higher education is destroying itself, and this idiocy can give rise to better competing institutions, faster. The sooner more people see the modern university as irrelevant (or better, as a common employment training ground instead of a place for higher education), the sooner those interested in actual scholarship can move on

A study from 1985 found that:

The authors also submitted different test studies to different peer-review boards. The methodology was identical, and the variable was that the purported findings either went for, or against, the liberal worldview (for example, one found evidence of discrimination against minority groups, and another found evidence of "reverse discrimination" against straight white males). Despite equal methodological strengths, the studies that went against the liberal worldview were criticized and rejected, and those that went with it were not. [1]

In 1985 in social psychology, liberals outnumbered conservatives 4 to 1. In 2012, it reached 14 to 1 [1]. If the research was biased even in 1985, imagine how bad it must be now, with a faculty 3x more politically biased. Now add the diversity statements on top of that.

Regardless of constitutionality, it boggles the mind social science has any credibility left.
