A dean at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville (SIUE) said in a recent interview that she hired members specifically because they were black, according to Diverse Issues in Higher Education.
Dr. Robin L. Hughes, dean of the SIUE School of Education, Health, and Human Behavior, hired several black candidates in what is described as a cluster hire, which specifically aims to hire multiple staff members of color, according to Diverse Issues in Higher Education.
The Supreme Court ruled in June to block race-based admissions in colleges and universities, which some worried may make cluster hires harder.
