Those looking to find work at Canadian public universities based on their qualifications alone might be hard-pressed as a recent study found that 98% of job postings had diversity, equity and inclusion requirements. In seeking to fill academic vacancies, the study found that “all 10 Canadian public universities sampled—and all but 12 of the 489 job advertisements—employed DEI strategies.” In other words, these job postings don’t just encourage scholars from certain equity-seeking groups but mandate that specific groups are to be prioritized while others are outright excluded. https://tnc.news/2025/01/31/university-job-ads-based-dei-study1/
