Exclusive Documents: UC-Boulder Breaks Civil Rights Law to Advance Racial Preferences

John D. Sailer and Louis Galarowicz

Through the use of public information requests, the National Association of Scholars has received extensive documentation related to a faculty diversification program, formerly known as FDAP, now the Critical Needs Hiring Program (CNHP), at the University of Colorado-Boulder. This press release provides the original reports used as source documents in "How DEI Conquered the University of Colorado," published in the Wall Street Journal.

The documents consist primarily of hiring proposals submitted by academic departments to the Provost’s Office and Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA) for a faculty line. The funding for these lines was allotted as part of a Faculty Diversity Action Plan, to fulfill the strategic objective of "diversifying" the faculty at University of Colorado Boulder. The documents give a window into how universities, in the name of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, discriminate on the basis of protected class and commitment to partisan ideology—namely, the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
