Diversity, Equity, Inclusion: No "Endpoint" as Seen i Canada's Academia

 Look out...And becoming additional to any job description

"...And therein lies another problem with committing to DEI: there isn’t really an endpoint — further inclusion and diversification is always necessary.

Mandatory commitments to DEI in academia are unlikely to disappear on their own. Administrators often like growing the bureaucracy, and you aren’t likely to hear protests from academics themselves. Professors are either too cautious to speak out, or they agree with DEI and don’t see a problem. (The Macdonald-Laurier Institute has demonstrated that right-leaning professors fear negative repercussions for their opinions on such issues at a much greater rate than their left-leaning colleagues.)
