If the stated policy is more restrictive than the enforced policy, and the key to getting in (for instance, for an MS student or an undergrad RA working in a lab) is to implicitly “know to ask for an exception”, then that is a barrier to diversity. It creates an insider club, between those who know the unwritten rules vs those who don’t. There are too many “unwritten rules”in academia already.
Stated policy can (and should) be written honestly, imo.
