I understood that COVID-19 was not being handled properly from the very beginning, on March 11, 2020. In September 2021, when I was accepted into a sociology Ph.D. program, I suggested studying how the Quebec government was managing people's fundamental rights for my dissertation. However, from that moment on, I was subjected to harassment and bullying, which eventually led to Université Laval canceling my enrollment.

Thirty years ago, back in the stone age when I was a grad student, criticizing the establishment was the only way to garuntee that you would REMAIN in a sociology graduate program.

Exactly and I was in graduate school as well during that time.

At what was once an outstanding university has now had 2 drag queens as homecoming kings.

Totally lost and I stopped donating 12 years ago.

I bet those sorority girls are pissed!

Actually a lot of people were pissed. The majority.

But you see the administrators and professors have contempt for the students.

Aren't the homecoming king & queen elected by the students?

Soooo... you're saying back in the 1900s, people like you and Kertch had the opportunity to pants these morons into submission, and stick "KICK ME!" signs on the back of their shirts until they cried, and you let them keep thinking they think they mattered?

Ryan - I'm disappointed. Noah should've swatted those two flies right from the get-go.

I don't know Kertch so I'll withhold but I'd expected better from you.

excellent article from Brownstone!!

I am sorry for your disappointing experience with Université Laval

Your treatment is truly disgusting

You should subscribe. No fees and really good reading.

Our gracious host El Gato has had a couple articles posted there recently but it's all pretty smart reading.

Before starting up Brownstone, Jeffrey Tucker did an interview with Sharyl Atkinson titled "The Epic Failure of the Government Gas Can" back in 2020. [as I am typing this very sentence, I just got the Brownstone article alert; I'll be brief bc I like reading them!]

Persecuted for being an individualist. When fascism fever is running high and paranoid collectivists are forming battle lines against whatever they've determined is going to kill them, it's best to lay low.

What does a Diversity Officer actually do, I wonder?

Well, to start with, they appropriate the word "officer."

Make sure that as an entitled black woman (married? so not gay!?) who got her job just because, she shoots from the hip on any and all white male students that made it to H on merit because merit is sooooo disrespectful and racial.

Both Affirmative Action hires who share the same victimhood perspective which allows them to do whatever they like including stealing others works and presenting it as theirs secretly.

These are what have been called useful idiots (no offense to run of the mill idiots). They are part of the long march through the institutions. That they are still there is proof.

The whole operation is masked under the undefined term diversity. We should welcome thieves, murders and rapists under the banner of "diversity". After all, disruption of society was the goal of those who released the civil rights agenda. If you want proof of this, look no further than how the black community has fallen from the 1950s when intact black families predominated and community existed to todays baby-daddy, single-mom, gangsta, drug and abortion culture with a smily face as on these poster-people of Harvard.

The big question about all this recent Harvard shenanigans is why has it taken so long for conservatives to NOTICE given that American (and Western world) universities became dominated by Leftist partisan groupthink half a century ago? DEI (and DEI hires like Gay) are just the tip of that civilisation-destroying iceberg.: https://grahamcunningham.substack.com/p/invasion-of-the-virtue-signallers "the performance of the conservative defenders of America's traditional values has been a textbook case in strategic failure. They started with all the advantage on their side; in particular an American public with solidly conservative instincts. The failure was to let themselves be blindsided by the enemy’s secret weapon: its longstanding grip on the institutions of ‘higher education’."

Trust me the Republican politicians were paying attention. They just didn't care.

The rest of the Republicans were looking for their next McMansion with subprime loans....for over 25 years.

Perfect diversion for the pigs in government to stick their noses deeper in the trough.

Expand full comment

These "elite" institutions don't deserve nearly as much respect as people give them. Their strength doesn't lie in teaching; when was the last time you heard anybody talk about what skilled instructors Harvard hires? Their strength lies in networking with wealthy and/or intelligent people. And both of those types of people are becoming increasingly rare given DEI admissions practices.

We can safely assume ALL academics/leftists (I know, redundant) are liars and cheaters. The real story would be finding one that wasn't!

Highest or lowest, whatever. If it works, you may be sure they will do it.

That word with com is a difificult one.

Expand full comment

Yes. But you generally are expected to credit the shoulders on which you stand

Expand full comment

This would mean elevating some people above others. Not much equality in this approach.

Science will have to change this. All published articles should have the authors moved from “Literature” to “Authors”. This will also ensure equal distribution of responsibility as a measure to ensure sustainability of exposed non-established views in the context of potential conflicts of interest.

Expand full comment

I think the word is equity, not equality. Equality is so de classe.

Expand full comment

Right. Must be equity. Like in the value of the shares of the company. Because we know that we are the value. Unemployment obviously has nothing to do with it.

Expand full comment

But science in the form that is being presented (academic science) does not have a significant impact on everyday lives unless advocate make it so.

The Scientific Method channelled through the engineering and audit process is what causes scientific discoveries to be applied to the real world. And very very few of these are applied in the same form as they were initially realised.

Expand full comment

The most important impact of academic science is very practical and measurable. Mostly by the salaries, grants, bonuses and other forms of compensation redistributed from collective funds (taxes and similar) into the accounts of people involved in the said science. I’d say that this impact is significant, especially when you compare it against the admission by the very people of this academic science that 99% of its production (research, studies, experiments, literature) is useless, redundant, false or impractical.

Still believe that DIY does more to the scientific progress in practical terms than all academic facilities combined.

Expand full comment

Actually you could be talking about "progress" and "innovation" in any big agency space or engineering program.

Expand full comment

Not really. Space programs have not recorded any progress since 1970s. (BTW. Check their budgets.) Actually, they have ensured regress, for example by deliberate destroying the complete records of all Apollo missions. The result is that there is no ANY evidence that we have ever launched anything into the space, and, specifically, that we have landed on the Moon. Repeat: the agency itself destroyed all records and publicly admitted to it. My definition of progress is different.

Expand full comment

A lot if not most space programs are only there to keep people employed and to look like they are doing things. That's why when SpaceX came along with Falcon the Ariane people couldn't accept they were being replaced.

Expand full comment

It would be interesting to know why we don’t do it in all other industries. Detroit would flourish with 0% unemployment, the largest automotive plants in the world and the happiest employees doing nothing. Instead, we let Asian countries do nothing (for compensation) and we import the products of their nothingwork, while our own folks are doublenothing unemployed with no future perspectives.

The Atlantic is now frantically drafting more articles about how plagiarism is actually a good and empowering thing.

Expand full comment

In academics, a place where physical attributes such as strength, speed, or extraordinary endurance (as might be found among long-distance runners) do not equate to any appreciable advantage, there is absolutely no reason why a woman could/would not be as accomplished or perhaps even more so than any male countrpart or colleague.

Yet, here we have a woman academic at an institution largely regarded as elite among its cohort, undermining that feminist article of faith: the idea that women are every bit as smart, intelligent, and equal to men in every way.

Never mind that such a notion has been proven to be fallacious, at best due to gender-norming for first-responder jobs like fire-fighting, law-enforcement, EMT, et al.

Not only did she choose to be lazy and take the easy way out, but her cynicism that either she would never be called out for it or worse, she'd be given a pass for it because of her gender and skin colour ought to leave her reputation in shreds.
