Insights on Diversity Recruitment and Meritocracy

Diversity recruitment can be critiqued from a conservative standpoint as discriminating based on race and sex, while defended from a liberal perspective as a pursuit of individual rights. The critique that diversity recruitment is at odds with merit is challenged by the argument that it aims to address a broken system, where assumptions of meritocracy may not hold true. The example of the military using affirmative action to ensure diverse leadership highlights the significance of diversity without compromising merit. The discussion also points out the limitations of the current system by referencing the case of Harvard openly discriminating against Asians.
