How racism inflicted on scientists and academics by Trudeau harms their institutions.

[I am Groot]

Someone give me a justification for the ridiculous level of DEI and racist hiring, promotion and grants giving employed by the government. Go ahead. Try.

 

In the latest development, about 40 Canadian university professors have recommended to the House of Commons that diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies in federally funded research be abolished. Such policies have multiplied within the three agencies responsible for funding research, known collectively as the Tri-Council, since the Liberals took office.

“These policies disproportionately punish small institutions, are not supported by evidence, employ flawed metrics with no end goal, and are unpopular with the public who funds the research,” they wrote in a brief filed to the House science committee on May 24.

Aside from the Canada Research Chairs, other federally funded research initiatives have been bogged down with diversity requirements at the direction of the Liberal government: some undergraduate funding programs have recently been restricted to Black applicants only. Researchers are asked to disclose their diversity status (i.e., whether they are members of preferred groups), and sometimes, they are required to file diversity statements with their grant applications.

Note that only 1.6% of visible minorities can trace their ancestry in Canada back even as far as 3 generations. 80% are immigrants and 18.3% are their kids.

Not only is it bad for the students who earned those spots, it's bad for black people who've earned their spots, because it makes them look like diversity hires (or in this case, diversity students).

Science is dead.
