Oops, they did it again

I wrote recently about a local university that was in the news for yet another financial scandal. Last week the same school made the news again. This time it's for posting an ad for an assistant professor of physics stating the school is looking for it to be filled by "an African American, Hispanic American, or a Native American Indian." Not surprisingly, the ad, which has been removed from the school's website, has created quite a backlash. What I want to know is what is going on at that school? The place seems to be running off the rails.
