I resolved to yes after seeing reporting in both Fox News and NYT that supported the claim

@nikki take 90% order?

@jacksonpolack this market is too vague, and I can probably find some random job application

@nikki If you'd be interested in betting no on some more specific set of criteria, try saying what that is?

@jacksonpolack some official policy or public announcement banning diversity statements (not "stop using")

Does anything about this hinge on "ban" vs "stop requiring"?

@JamesBakerc884 I think the natural interpretation is that "ban" means "stop using diversity statements for hiring". Compare to this later article by Sailer (who posted the 'pro' tweet in the market description) https://unherd.com/newsroom/mit-becomes-first-elite-university-to-ban-diversity-statements/ where the headline says "ban diversity statements" and the body says

In what’s likely to be a watershed moment, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has ended the use of diversity statements for faculty hiring, making it the first elite private university to backtrack on the practice that has been roundly criticised as a political litmus test.

On Saturday, an MIT spokesperson confirmed in an email to me that “requests for a statement on diversity will no longer be part of applications for any faculty positions at MIT”, adding that the decision was made by embattled MIT President Sally Kornbluth “with the support of the Provost, Chancellor, and all six academic deans”.

@jacksonpolack Thanks, I see that you're not the market creator but I'm glad it's clear to you!

@jacksonpolack Yes this is how I am interpreting it
