I brought this up a few years ago where I work. I want to have a team sanitize the applications before the hiring team gets to see them. Remove names, dates that can be used to construe an age, gender, etc. I hope this study helps me get my point across at next years EEO training.
I doubt it’s your name/ethnicity. It’s probably more that you’re over qualified and they’re afraid you’re going to work for 3 months before getting a better job better matching your qualifications. To be clear they shouldn’t discriminate because of over qualifications either.
I say this as someone who works in the public sector, for many years. Every year I have to go to an EEO training and they drill it home what we can and can’t consider. There’s no way they are managing to discriminate against white sounding names for a decade without someone blowing the whistle. I 100% guarantee some fox news watcher there is blowing the whistle for their 20 minutes of fame.
Remember it’s not the school that won’t pony up, it’s your local and state government that aren’t giving them an appropriate budget.
Also keep in mind that most grant money comes with stipulations. I remember many years ago (late 90’s or early 00’s) we got a big grant for computers in the classroom. Good chunk of money. But it had to be spent on computers, and only computers. Would have been nice to get some furniture to put them on. We had some in the back of the classrooms next to the sink, some we put 2 desks set front to front (it was not level) It was janky, but the computers were nice.
When Joe Biden and Congress enacted legislation in December that blocked a threatened freight rail strike, many workers angrily faulted Biden for not ensuring that the legislation also guaranteed paid sick days. But since then, union officials says, members of the Biden administration, including the transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, and labor secretary, Marty Walsh, who stepped down on 11 March, lobbied the railroads, telling them it was wrong not to grant paid sick days.
“We’ve made a lot of progress,” said Greg Regan, president of the Transportation Trades Department of the AFL-CIO, the main US labor federation. “This is being done the right way. Each railroad is negotiating with each of its individual unions on this.”

$650 HOA? I don’t even like my $35/month HOA.
Or even the equipment. Some people are stuck with a hot plate and a tiny minifridge.
The ice isn’t to cool the water, the ice is to reflect most of the incoming light.
Sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and helps moderate global climate. Sea ice has a much brighter surface compared to many other Earth surfaces, particularly the surrounding ocean. The darker ocean reflects only 6 percent of the sun’s energy and absorbs the rest, while sea ice reflects 50 to 70 percent of the incoming energy.

I’ll be shocked if this isn’t abused to target marginalized groups and destroy their sub reddits.
We have rubrics. Like if we’re asking for an AA degree, but a BS preferred, you’ll get tossed out if you don’t have an AA, you’ll get 1 point for an AA, and 2 points for a BS. But you’ll also get a 2 for a MA or DR.
It gets weird when it’s education and or maybe experience somewhere in the field… some people who write our job descriptions don’t think things through…
