Diversity and its Champions

From a  study written by Behavioural Economics Team of the Australian Government (BETA) on discrimination in the Public Services:
"What we found is that de-identifying applications at the shortlisting stage of recruitment does not appear to assist in promoting diversity in hiring. In fact, in the trial we found that overall, APS [Australian Public Service] officers generally discriminated in favour of female and minority candidates."
Their conclusion:
"This suggests that the APS has been successful to some degree in efforts to promote awareness and support for diversity among senior staff."

Would that have been your conclusion?
