The one that comes to mind is for orchestra musicians. A complete blind audition.

But for University staff who need to be able to work with other faculty, teach students, publish, and research, it sounds like a terrible idea. And if the auditions aren’t “blind” (which is near impossible to do) then all this probably means is they’ll select people solely by who’s underrepresented most according to physical characteristics.
