At least by the time your husband got hired the frenzy of it had evened out somewhat. But it sounds like it was still a pain in rear. Those quotas pushed many well qualified people out of the profession. Great that his perseverance paid off in the end. For us back in the day, the prospects were dismal if not impossible. But like I stated, no regrets. In the end it worked out for me - although in a way I had not envisioned. I too am glad that DEI is being jettisoned in favor of more merit based hiring practices - as it should be.
