@AetheriusComics you do understand that this is exactly the problem? So lets say there are at most only a few dozen thousands people qualified for that position in the whole. Not all of them want that position, cause they may have something better. Not all of them live near the Harvard and are not able/willing to relocate. Some are too young and some are too old. So lets be generous and say you still have like 2K qualified people. If you hire based on race, you cut down like 85% or so. So you are at best at 200-300 people. And those are very generous assumptions. Of course it will be way more difficult to find a good one out of 200 instead of 2K. And that is ehy affirmative action is actually a very bad thing.

@AetheriusComics yes I agree, but the problem with positions in high education is that the 2K is not in a single state or in two. We are talking the whole USA. So it just does not matter, you are always stuck with the same pool of people. And yeah just like you said you dont need to look everywhere just at the right place, but the thing is if you decide to hire based on race or something like that, you very well may be sorting out exactly those people who are perfect for the job.

@AetheriusComics obviously there are good/qualified people from all races. The problem is that a lot of those best qualified people probably already have similar or even better jobs. Or have other reasons for nottaking that job. And after all that you you throw out 85% of the candidates. The probability that you will find the right person is just low. Oh I agree on the point that the one they picked was a total crapshow. Nobody is denying that. What I am saying is just pick the best/most qualified person. It is impossible for two persons to have identical qualifications. Race or whatever should not be a deciding point that in any way. So if the person who is perfect for this job is a black and identifies himself as anon-binary reindeer I would not care. Is he doing a good job? Yes? Great lets keep him. No? Boot him out and get a good one. To decide based on race is just racist and stupid. The only cases where race should be a deciding point is something like casting for movies, casting models or something like that. If you need a white/black/whatever actor, you should get one.
