A coterie of Canadian academics claiming to support “merit” in university hiring have sued their employers, submitted briefs to parliamentary committees, co-authored reports for conservative think tanks, and published commentaries on right-wing media platforms including The Hub and the National Post. Contrary to their claims, their aims are far from “apolitical.”

    This has occurred alongside a growing lack of viewpoint diversity among faculty and concerns over the erosion of academic freedom in Canada… First and foremost, the agencies should commit to political and ideological neutrality.

    “A lack of diverse opinions is bad, which is why we should commit to removing all opinions other than mine, which is the most objective and neutral.”

    Okay buddy conservative.
