Strong pro-DEI record. As UArizona College of Engineering dean (2019–2026), Hahn was described as a "champion of diversity in engineering" who spearheaded efforts to boost underrepresented groups.
Key points: Hired 55+ faculty with 36% from female/Hispanic/Black/Native American groups (largest diversity increase in college history); co-authored "Diversifying the Engineering Faculty Hiring Pool" paper; college launched diversity awards and prioritized underrepresented student enrollment.
He previously increased female enrollment in mechanical/aerospace engineering above national averages.
New Boss better not be the same as the old boss!
He should be similar, at least with respect to DEI.
