I am assuming the job advertisements don't actually say "CNNA." Yet there is 'a way' to look at applying under the stated guidelines. For example, when I was a Major in the Army I had a very good Lieutenant who did his stint and was leaving the Army to pursue his masters in business. He was applying to the top MBA programs in the nation, one being Stanford. He applied with hundreds of others. He was conservative with libertarian leanings. When it came time for the interview, they asked the same questions to him as you posted above. His answer was "it seems you have a paucity of conservatives and libertarians at your institution. My greatest contribution to diversity and inclusion will be to provide a much needed balance to your program." They agreed and he attended that fall.State University Posts ‘Conservatives Need Not Apply’ Pledge For Potential Hires
The new hiring policy at the University of Cincinnati is straight out of a George Orwell novel. Since July 1, everyone from full professor to part-time custodian is now required to swear allegiance to the cult of inclusion and diversity.
If you want to apply to any hourly wage job on the UC campus, you will need to write a paragraph explaining “how your qualifications prepare you to work with faculty, staff and students from cultures and backgrounds different from your own.” If you would like to teach students or work as office staff, get ready to submit a “Diversity and Inclusion statement” describing your “contributions (or potential contributions) to diversity, inclusion and leadership.” In other words, show your track record of belonging to or promoting the pet interest groups of the Left.
But what if you don’t have a track record? What if you haven’t marched at pride, co-founded a Black Lives Matter chapter, or lobbied for trans men to use women’s bathrooms? Don’t panic: notice the word “potential.” All they really need to hear from you is that you want to do those things. Because if you don’t, then the university doesn’t want you. . . Read More

those aren't quotation marksI stopped taking the article seriously when it became obvious that the title contained a dishonest statement (aka a lie). The use of quotation marks implies that the University actually said "conservatives need not apply." Instead, we find out that that is an interpretation by the author of the article. If I can't trust the publication to tell the truth in the title, why believe anything it says?
Wouldn't a teacher teach what they are?those aren't quotation marks
This is the author of the piece. I thought that anyone who would like to insult her might like to look her in the eye.
Quotation marks are used for different purposes by different writers, and they are used in different ways in different countries.

Italics or bold are used for emphasis. Quotation marks (including single quotes) are used for quotations. I don't necessarily expect that everyone in CF will understand all these types of nuances of grammar and style. But, that is a fair expectation for writers.It's clear it wasn't a quote but the ' was used for emphasis. If they were actually quoting they would use quotes.
None of it matters,anyone hired will be fired as soon as they lock horns with liberalism.

You cannot logically and honestly conclude that the title was not meant to be deceptive. It clearly is intended to deceive the reader, as it is a click bait title. I know it's a common tactic, but it's still unethical.
