Thank you for the important talk… too bad it was cut short!! U of A is getting rid of DEI and it would be a positive move if other Canadian universities followed!!
Actually, the U of A is changing the name of their DEI policies and processes. There is no indication they are ditching them. I mean, ditching DEI would be like the Catholic church ditching the ten commandments.
I'm not convinced re U of A. I read the piece in the Edmonton Journal. Have a look at the U of A doctrine-it still references intersectionality etc., which is not reassuring. Time will tell.
The University of Alberta made an announcement about withdrawing DEI policies, but wasn’t forcing any changes on faculties and roles reliant on Canada Research Chair funding. So, I suppose it’s a positive move, but is only a very small move at this point.
This is nothing new !!! I graduated back in 1986 with a Bachelors in Econ from a very reputable canadian university. I had to hide my core beliefs and personal views just to defend my gpa. The department was completely devoid of divergent opinion. It was totally infected with marxian thought and a leftist analytical framework. I had a more than a decent average but when came time to push forward in academia. It was an easy choice to refuse the proposals.
The universities are almost too far gone. I don't think there savable. The work required to bring them back to bastions of freedom of thought and masters of critical thinking as they were originally intended to be is just to great.
Thank you for this testimony. I consider myself a liberal but where we are now in the universities is very troubling. I recently completed a university degree in my senior years. Quite a different experience from previous decades in the academic setting.
What you may or may not seem to understand is that the Liberal Party of Canada stopped being liberal as a matter of party policy in the 1930s. They just did not tell anyone. In short liberals in Canada have actually been voting for a MARXIST party all that time. Oscar Skelton explains all this in his 1911 book on Socialism and how the only way they can make Canada into a Socialist state was through a Trojan horse like the more popular Liberal Party.
A friend recently started a business course at Concordia and immediately came back spouting the most ridiculously Marxist conceits about how businesses operate. She's not the sharpest, so she actually hadn't even realized she was being indoctrinated. One claim she made was that ALL business exploit employees by not sharing their profits equally. Aside from this notion being extremely Marxist, it isn't remotely true. I pointed out in my business, as a sole trader, I enjoy all of the fruits of my labors. It also fails to acknowledge that a huge number of people don't want to run a business, and actually PREFER to work for a large organization and feel they are not at all exploited. When informed what she was advocating for was the very form of Communism that cost millions of lives and ruined many more, she doubled down with the whole "it will be done properly this time" line. Of course it will. The millions of Eastern Europeans who decry the evils of it are simply wrong about their experiences. In reality, the great and glorious emancipation of the shackled classes will be led by people too stupid to realize they are being indoctrinated in failed philosophies.

Because western citizens continue to fund our own ignorance. We continue to do nothing to stop these woke governments from stealing our tax dollars, and using these stolen funds, to pay the 'media' to lie and brainwash us.

Thank you for coming forward. How many horrible governing policies were enacted based on junk academics and science? "Never confuse education with intelligence. You can have a PhD and still be an idiot". ~Richard Feynman
Liberals feel more justified in discriminating across racial and ideological lines in hiring and promotions. Conservatives do not. That can set off a long term chain reaction
@ABC-yt1nq She works for the government of Canada, so she already has a criminally fat bank account. I stand by my demand, she deserves to be punished, that is how the people see justice done, through retribution.
The whole of the Education should be shut down for two years reset the cariculum, and make all educators take a test that requires them to pass the basic standards
But how did this ideological bias creep into the education system at all levels? I would argue that the rewards of employment and advancement were so tilted toward left leaning people that the system evolved over time to what we see today in academia. It would be interesting to know how this political and ideological bias evolved over the past 50 years. Also, I would expect the STEM fields to display less bias compared to the humanities for example.
Went to uni part time as an adult, graduation in 2003. Prof in one class asks what method women used to not get pregnant when they no longer wanted children. Lots of guesses no one had the right one. She says women simply started to have sex with men. I blurted out I could have guessed for two weeks and would not have come up with that one. She was so angry. But then I said that means it is a choice. Surprised she gave me a passing grade. She was so angry, but we were also not allowed to discuss this any further.
This is troubling at many levels. Offering only left wing views at an educational institute stunts one’s ability to analyze and judge diverse viewpoints. Students end up indoctrinated rather than educated. Universities often bang on about how they “teach people how to think.” How can this possibly be, if they are never exposed to viewpoints from across the ideological spectrum? Is it any wonder that students’ response to controversial right of centre speakers is to protest and de platform them rather than listen carefully and either agree or come up with logical arguments against what they are hearing? And this, btw, is coming from someone who considers themselves centre-left.
We allow all views at post secondary institutions. Why are you making shit up? You seem to know a lot about post secondary institutions without clearly attending one.
@ I just worked at one for more than 10 years. And it was the case then and long before them. For example, a representative of the apartheid era government in South Africa was invited to give a talk to journalism students so they could learn how to question such a person. He was shut down by protesters slapping the windows of the lecture hall and creating so much noise that the event couldn’t proceed. More recently , lawyer Peter Best, who argues for abolition of the current First Nations reserve system here in Canada, has had his lectures cancelled, again depriving students of the opportunity to hear and consider his positions, then come up with reasoned responses. These are just two examples that come readily to mind. Our universities must present perspectives from across the political spectrum so our youth can better arm themselves against misinformation and outright propaganda from whatever the source, left or right.
@@1MiketheScribe Sounds like the institution you worked at allowed for these speakers to speak. People have the right to protest, and they clearly didn’t want to hear another one of these old, tired ideologies. What is wrong with protesting? These people were just expressing their freedom of speech. I thought you folks who are against education are all about freedom of speech. If your ideology doesn’t align with the rest of the educated, evolving human race, that’s on you. It’s refreshing to hear that you don’t work there anymore.
@ Seriously? Protest away, but if your protest prevents someone else exercising their freedom of speech… you don’t see a problem with that? Shouting down your opponents and intimidating them into silence is hardly upholding the principles of free speech.
I am also from Europe and i am afraid it's these same in our institutions this is leading us downhill. I did not fail to notice that its a woman interupting, sorry to say but more women in certain positions is not helping, but rather the contrary.
The truth is politicians are liars, and we don’t trust people who lie. They’re all full of shit but one party stands out on top when it comes to fabrication and lies, and this is the result. You folx are so fragile that you cannot hold any accountability for yourself, so you deflect your fragility onto others. Go to school and learn something instead being so afraid. Challenge the systems that you complain about instead of rocking your keyboard warrior badge on fucking TH-cam…you’re all a bunch of fragile cowards.
If the Universities are so concerned with DEI they will have to change their hiring policy to accept more Moderate or right leaning professors regardless of their ability. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. DEI is suppose to make the hiring process more in line with outcome and that outcome is that the work force should be represented equally. Having 90% of professors identify as left leaning means the the diversity equity and inclusion in not being implemented in Canadian Universities. The outcome of the education process is being effected negatively for the students. A student who wishes to be involved in micro biology would like to be educated in that subject rather than be immersed in some form of socialist culture. The Universities have let the country down and it shows in the quality of students leaving with a degree.
It’s sad we are training foreigners instead of Canadians. When are Universities going to put Canadians first ? Not one foreigner should get a seat until all Canadians have had a chance.
It’s all about the money, GMAN. The foreigners pay big bucks to come study here, but then they NEVER LEAVE. But I suppose that’s a different issue for another time.
The "study" falsely assumed that surveys on party preference, left-right spectrum self-identification, and trans issues, can tells us something about viewpoint diversity. They can't.
I remembered back in my old country universities were very deserse. You could be devers as much as you like as long as you say anything against communism party.

What do you EXPECT? You create these "echo chambers" and then expect diversity of thought and ideas??? (and not a myopic worldview???) The Hindu archetype of the Ouroboros was not accidental. The snake of thought does really FEED OFF ITSELF.
Its may have just been that conservative political views are correlated with super natural beliefs which is naturally counter productive to the scientific work that is necessary for jobs at university level educators. If one factors out this correlation, I'm confident that both views are equal represented statistically
I hear what you're saying... but what happened to Equality =/= Equity? Haven't conservatives constantly told women that poor representation in a field is not due to discrimination, but due to not all groups sharing the same interests? Perhaps conservatives simply don't want to work at universities the same way that perhaps women simply don't want to be engineers. The base argument we always hear is "Equality isn't Equity, unequal representation is not due to discrimination because there are no laws barring them from entry. Therefore, take accountability and accept that not all demographics will accel in the same fields, let alone choose the same fields!". You can't eat you cake and have it too. Show me one law that bars profs that have conservative beliefs from being hired, or employed. By all the rhetoric we've heard, if there isn't one, then discrimination "doesn't exist" regardless of people's lived experiences and reports. You need to choose, you can't have both.
Just look who is in STEM field and who decides for allocation of subsidies and research budgets. Scientific in huge majority are not interested in ideology, politics or management.
@@guyboisvert66 Are you sure about that? Because Universities as a whole are highly ideologically captured, and the fact that numerous joke papers have been published in accredited STEM journals is evidence of that. Along with the fact that political slants in staffing is still extreme in STEM when you look at the statistics. The lawsuits proving discrimination on the grounds of protected characteristics also disproves that assumption. There are biases, just because laws don't exist to enforce the biases, doesn't mean that policies and beliefs spoken behind closed doors don't. It's the same logic in both instances. There is a clear bias, even if there isn't publicly available policy or laws enforcing it. You either believe that in both instances, or you don't. It can't be yes for one, and no for the other. From the data we have, and the class action lawsuits we've seen, there are biases against groups on the grounds of immutable characteristics, political beliefs, religion etc. that exceeds the cultural forces that yield say, more Asians going towards STEM, more women going towards social fields, and conservatives heading to the private sector.
Good work. Need individual thinking and free thought without fear of persecution or dismissal from a handful of bias people. All need to be strong and courageous! Going back to the basics of learning life itself and starting fresh to grow good fields 🫡🦁♌️🌳✨🕯️💨🎯🇨🇦💚🍁⛓️💥🤠

Along with the fact that political slants in staffing is still extreme in STEM when you look at the statistics.
The lawsuits proving discrimination on the grounds of protected characteristics also disproves that assumption.
There are biases, just because laws don't exist to enforce the biases, doesn't mean that policies and beliefs spoken behind closed doors don't.
It's the same logic in both instances. There is a clear bias, even if there isn't publicly available policy or laws enforcing it. You either believe that in both instances, or you don't. It can't be yes for one, and no for the other.
From the data we have, and the class action lawsuits we've seen, there are biases against groups on the grounds of immutable characteristics, political beliefs, religion etc. that exceeds the cultural forces that yield say, more Asians going towards STEM, more women going towards social fields, and conservatives heading to the private sector.
@ I did listen, just because you seem to be allergic to logical consistency doesn't mean I didn't understand what he claimed.
@ I think i will take facts and reality over the logical consistency that you have formulated in your mind.
I am.pretty sure everyone is well aware of Canadian universities and the scandels involving them. Diploma mills.
In which faculties do conservative views prevail?
Good work. Need individual thinking and free thought without fear of persecution or dismissal from a handful of bias people. All need to be strong and courageous! Going back to the basics of learning life itself and starting fresh to grow good fields 🫡🦁♌️🌳✨🕯️💨🎯🇨🇦💚🍁⛓️💥🤠
