One material consequence of this legislation is removing all university EDI commitments because it *may* deter a *possible* professor that is for inequality, against diversity, and champions exclusion, from applying for promotion
Example 32: requiring a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion University A requires all candidates for academic promotion to submit a 500-word statement of evidence of commitment to equality (or equity), diversity and inclusion (EDI). Depending on the circumstances, this requirement may be restricting the lawful expression of certain viewpoints. For instance, a lecturer might be sceptical of some aspects of EDI and may be deterred from applying for promotion, or may be refused promotion, as a result. Removing this requirement from promotion processes is then likely to be a reasonably practicable step that University A should now take.
