The rejection note stated that “the Search Committee has determined that your background does not appear to match our requirements and/or strategic priorities at this time.” Putting aside the fact that I am LGBTQ for a moment, if I was BIPOC, that wordage could be incredibly problematic. This was also sent during the George Floyd protests. Language matters.)

Only in academia is this acceptable. To be clear, this is an issue with the entire academic process, not a specific committee or group of faculty.)
