Emphasizing diversity in your hiring doesn't necessarily mean lowering the bar. It may mean trying harder to find candidates.

Of all the companies out there, Google can afford to be that picky. More importantly, they can look into why some people aren't choosing to study CS or apply to google, and adjust things to get a more diverse group of CS grads or fresh applicants.

Adjusting things so that CS is a more attractive career field, that would be great for everyone!
