This article literally has nothing to do with Google. Also, these researchers are not suggesting anything; this is just the results they've discovered after trying to give an edge to women and ethnic minorities by removing that type of information from CVs.
I don't think you read the article.
In short, some institutions in Australia started to remove gender identification from CVs of potential candidates in order to prevent gender discrimination. It turned out more men were hired in this way, and that if you add gender identification, women have more chances to get hired than men.
It doesn't have much to do with Google's Diversity program and the Damore case.
I can't edit my comment, but I was being sarcastic. Obviously it's unrelated to the Google debacle, except in the sense that it corroborates that author's view.
I don't think it corroborates the authors viem though. They're seperate if related issues. I agree with the memo but never thought blind interviewing was a bad idea, I thought it would be good and combat some of the more overt racism I've seen.
