Most defenders of position diversity, however, have a more controversial policy in mind. They urge the appointment of faculty who hold certain opinions. For instance, if all the current members of a department are atheists or agnostics, position diversity calls for the next appointment to be a theist. Similarly, if all are political liberals, then preference should be given to appointing a political conservative.

The United States media conglomerate Paramount has announced a deal securing the acquisition of the commentary website Free Press and naming its founder, conservative media figure Bari Weiss, as the editor-in-chief of CBS News. The appointment of Weiss, known for her pro-Israel positions and frequent criticism of woke politics, comes amid what critics have called an effort to steer CBS in a direction more aligned with the administration of President Donald Trump.

"You told them that they had to end all of their diversity programs but that they have to institute viewpoint diversity. That doesn't seem to make sense."
