DEI is incompatible with academic freedom: study

- Diversity, equity and inclusion policies are “sadly lacking in idea diversity” and are driven by people who believe that racism explains everything, said Mark Milke, founder and president of the Aristotle Foundation on Public Policy. Milke was talking to John Ivison about a new study of academic hiring practices at Canadian universities undertaken by the Aristotle Foundation. The study found the near universal use of DEI policies to promote the equality of outcomes in the university system.

DEI literally is systemic racism because it is system-wide and it is fundamentally racist.
Funding and programs ONLY for "Internationally Educated Nurses", over Canadian-trained nurses, JT needs to answer for real world negative consequences.
The University of Calgary sent an email to alumni 18 months or two years ago stating that the next 45 hires would be DEI selected and white male and female “straight” persons need not apply. I responded and said that U of C could expect no donations from me until it went back to a merit based hiring system. I was invited in an email response to contact the president directly. I declined as I felt it would be a waste of my time (based on my assumption that the U of C was attempting to satisfy a standard set by the federal government for funding) and unsubscribed from all U of C emails.
40 years ago, my brother tried to join the RCMP, our father was a member, recently retired at the time. My brother went through the interviews, and on the aptitude test scored in the top 5%. The officer interviewing him told him that he could not be hired because he was the wrong demographic [white male], he further said that had he been a woman or a visible minority, they would have hired him immediately. This was 40 years ago...this discrimination is nothing new, but I agree that it's gotten much, much worse.
I remember on a twitter space someone claiming Canada didn't have this nonsense. Someone wasn't paying attention
An excellent report, please continue to shine a light in the dark corners of All of Canada
Not just DEI ... it's the entire woke ideology.
Why is it only white guys talking to other white guys who say the DEI is bad????. What are these two white men afraid of for having a none white man give their opinion on DEI????
If DEI is so good why is it offensive to call someone a DEI hire? If you were qualified for the job then you wouldn't need DEI programs.

We've proven this over and over again but certain people want it to stay and some are willing to break the law to continue it
Thank you John, for this discussion. I was at the Aristotle event on Monday listening to Peter MacKinnon. Finally we are beginning to talk about the detrimental DEI mandates by our feds. Thank you Mark Milke and all of Aristotle for the work you do.
I would think many of those questions would be illegal on grounds of discrimination.
But probably not in front of the human rights tribunals. Litigation chill is real.
Thank you for this discussion.

As soon as you hire on any other basis than merit, you are NOT getting the best candidate for the position. In short order, you have a bunch of people who should NOT be in those positions and who underperform. That's when the organization starts declining. Is that the Equitable outcome they were looking for?
I did not agree with all of Pierre Trudeau’s policies but he was a far superior intellect, competent PM and a World class Statesman unlike his showman lightweight son. Pierre’s idea and belief of a Just society did not mean “unequal inputs lead to equal outcomes”, he condoned meritocracy while building a system and society that would provide help and assistance to those in need of supports and help.
In any system you have inputs, outputs, and the transfer function that leads inputs to outputs. In math, this is y = f(x) where x = input, y = output.
You can only control 2. If you want a diverse population, x, at the input, and a fair system that does not discriminate against anybody, f(), then the outcome y = f(x) is whatever it will be and isn't under control.
If you want to control outcome, y, to be uniform for all -- whether groups or individuals -- and want an unbiased systems f(), then you need to have a uniform input, x. We've seen societies that have tried to do that: uniform race, ethnicity, religion, culture. We don't want that.
If you want to control outcome, y, to be uniform for all and want a diverse input, x, then you need to create a highly biased, heavily controlled system transfer function, f(), that maps inputs to outputs. That means government dictates where you live, what education you get, what jobs you do, whether you like it or not. We've seen societies that have tried to do that too. North Korea, Khmer Rouge, Cuba (via aptitude tests), former USSR countries like East Germany, Yugoslavia, Albania; China between 1958 and 1978.
If you want multi-culturalism and non-oppressive fair and free societies that people want to live in, you have to let the outcomes be what they are. Diverse inputs, x, make f() as unbiased as you can and keep on it, and let outcome y = f(x).

"Individuals need to be treated as fairly as groups" Wrong thinking John...ignore the groups completely, give them no consideration at all. Consideration should ONLY be given to individuals.
It's only discrimination if the victim is someone you agree with or know.

They missed one thing. It isn't just that DEI assumes, without evidence, that statistical differences in outcomes is because of racism. It's that assuming the statistics should be identical is, itself, racism. Statistically identical outcomes is essentially the description of a monoculture, not a multiculture.
Consider that there aren't a lot of Mennonites in the military, or in advanced physics. There aren't a lot of female roofers. Do we attribute these things to discrimination, or choice?
OK, Mennonites are not exactly an ethnicity per se, though they do tend to breed internally similar to why Judaism led to a different Jewish ethnicity. But, race and ethnicity do correlate highly with differing geographic and cultural origins, which include differences in interests, values, and desires that directly affect choices and outcomes. Do you maximize time with family as only work minimally to make enough money, or do you maximize income to provide more for your family? Those are tradeoffs that differ by cultures and even gender preferences.
It's been said that DEI treats women as if they are defective men. One woman once said to me that telling women what they *should* want to do is paternalistic; telling women they should want to do it because the men do it is misogynistic.
It's been said? Who is "it's"???? I can use your "it's been said" trope also... It's been said that your comments on youtube messages are a method of propaganda and fascism . It's been said that you are a bot being paid by an American right wing culture group.
