[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My college which has always been very liberal (think Oberlin level) when I attended has turned into a circus. There is this obsession with diversity, both economic and racial, that is ridiculous. Everything is about identity politics and I cringe reading the alumni magazine. [/quote]

Canadian universities are looking more attractive by the day.

Great education at reasonable fees, and actual diversity without the actual BS.[/quote]

Oh, like Laurier in Ontario where they accused a TA of being transphobic for showing a clip from a respected Canadian TV program that had professors debating both sides of gender pronouns?

As a Canadian, I feel that I should point out a) the professor, and the way he handled the "intervention" with the TA, was widely criticized across the Canadian media, b) Laurier indicated they do not stand behind his POV, and c) Laurier is really the bottom of the barrel as far as Canadian universities are concerned. It's where my cousin who took 7 years to finish high school went--not anywhere close to an elite institution. [/quote]

+1.

Have never even heard of that. DS is researching UBC, McGill, U Toronto.[/quote]
