Merit System Is Unjust Because It Rewards Productive Individuals, Professors Argue

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Kate Anderson

"Admitting that the normative definitions of success and merit are in and of themselves barriers to achieving the goals of justice, diversity, equity and inclusion is necessary but not sufficient to create change," professors Beth Mitchneck and Jessi L. Smith recently wrote for Inside Higher Education.

Mitchneck and Smith attributed those definitions to a "narrow definition of merit limited to a neoliberal view of the university." Specifically, they express concern that universities receive funding and recognition based on the individual performances of professors' own work such as peer reviewed journals and studies.
