Very sorry to hear these reports, and was nodding along as I read the post.
If I can ask, how do they know EA affiliation was the decision? Is this an informal ‘everyone knows’ thing through policy networks in the US? Or direct feedback for the prospective employer than EA is a PR-risk?
Of course, please don’t share any personal information, but I think it’s important for those in the community to be as aware as possible of where and why this happens if it is happening because of EA affiliation/​history of people here.

I’m thinking of around 5 cases. I think in around 2-3 they were told, the others it was strongly inferred.
