Should Governor Tim Walz ever hope to return to being an assistant football coach in Mankato, he might look to Minnesota State University for his next gig.
The public university seeks a defensive assistant coach for its football team. But while it would be “preferred” that the applicant has experience coaching a defensive position and recruiting athletes, it is mandatory they embrace DEI.
“Demonstrated ability to serve a diverse population and apply an equity lens, including social justice and/or anti-racism, to the role,” is listed as a “minimum” qualification for the job.
“Ability to coach and teach highly-talented student-athletes to succeed in a challenging academic environment,” on the other hand, is simply a “preferred” qualification.
