Totally Off-Topic: Sample Interview Questions – Diversity and Equity

Five different colored hand prints
I am currently on three search committees.  While understanding what a candidate can be asked legally (for example, Minnesota State and Monster.com), it is also important to ask questions which help the search committee understand the candidate's views on specific topics.  One of those topics is diversity.  These are sample interview questions from Northern Illinois University on diversity and equity.  I'm placing them here, so I can find them later. And they also might be of help to you.

Our recent history has shown that a person's understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion should not be assumed.  Yes, be willing to ask questions of candidates about this, rather than being surprised.
