Well-qualified candidates with a completed or nearly completed PhD in public administration, public policy analysis, political science, economics or a related field are sought.

Review of applications and nominations will begin in September, 2012, and will continue until the position is filled. Letters of application and inquiry should include research and teaching interests. Please include curriculum vitae and names and addresses for three references. Starting date will be Fall, 2013.

you might lose that bet...but i am curious why you would want to be that anyway? is there an inference you are trying to make with this rather ridiculous post?

especially since almost 20 out of the 66 extended board members are women...and not all "white" (whatever that means)....and there are women on faculty currently
and given their diversity initiative

i am sure the "diversity" will be determined by who chooses to submit an application.....was that your inference?

You might want to let your hate of the church go at some time. I think it clouds your views. While racism and discrimination still exist, I see it existing in the church probably at the same levels as the surrounding culture. We also have to take into account LDS culture, not to mention a number of other factors before we could realistically say they are being racist or discriminatory in their hiring practices. Do you have any evidence to suggest they do?

Compare the ethnic profile of the Faculty with the ethnic profile of the catchment from which to recruit members.

Compare the ethnic profile of the Apostles with the ethnic profile of the membership.

Neither are reflective of the 'catchment' both are reflective of a unbalanced preponderance towards white, heterosexual males.
