Harvard FAS removes DEI statement requirement, replaces with service and teaching statements.

Harvard University's Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) has decided to remove the requirement for job applicants to submit diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) statements. The decision was made in response to feedback received from numerous faculty members, who questioned the usefulness and clarity of the statements. FAS will now require a "service statement" focused on efforts to strengthen academic communities and a teaching statement describing the creation of a learning environment.
