Repairing the Damage: Responsibilities, Obligations, and Systemic Racism in Universities.
The following two claims are commonly accepted: 1) systemic racism has harmed members of ethnic minorities, thus preventing them from achieving appropriate representation on university faculties; 2) university faculty members ought to take steps to ethnically diversify their departments through affi...

Here, I consider the following question: assuming that 1) and 2) are correct, who ought to bear the burden of these diversification efforts? I argue that it is implausible that this obligation lies entirely with prospective employees, and that there is some reason to think that at least some existing faculty members have an obligation to engage in what I will call 'conscientious resignation': to resign due to a moral obligation to repair systemic racism. Šie du teiginiai įprastai laikomi teisingais: 1) sisteminis rasizmas pakenkė tautinių mažumų atstovams ir tokiu būdu neleido jiems pasiekti atitinkamo atstovavimo universitetuose; 2) universitetų bendruomenės turėtų imtis priemonių, kad etniškai diversifikuotų savo padalinius afirmatyviu veiksmu. Šiame straipsnyje keliu tokį klausimą: tardamas, kad ir 1), ir 2) yra teisingi, svarstau, kas gi turėtų prisiimti šių diversifikacijos pastangų naštą. Teigiu, kad vargu ar turėtų būti taip, jog šį įpareigojimą turėtų prisiimti vien tik būsimi darbuotojai. Be to, yra priežasčių manyti, kad bent jau dalis dabartinių fakultetų darbuotojų turėtų prisiimti įpareigojimą ir įgyvendinti tai, ką įvardyčiau „sąžiningu atsistatydinimu" - tai yra, kad pasitrauktų iš einamų pareigų dėl moralinio įsipareigojimo atitaisyti sisteminio rasizmo žalą. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Problems / Problemos is the property of Vilnius University and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
