A Canadian university: Memorial University rules out straight white men from applying for tenured jobs

In a university with a majority of female students and a majority of female graduates, and a majority of female employees.

These sexist pigs are only looking for areas where women do not dominate and address to areas to increase the numbers of women. In areas where women do dominate, they take no interest or action.

This is purely sexist discrimination, not equity. Their stated and unhiden goal is to eliminate men and boys from education in Canada.

Legalized discrimination.

So, people at a University is choosing to fix discrimination with more discrimination. Wow. How dumb can you be?

When will men boycott?

Pretty much all Canadian universities do this. I've seen positions at UofA blatantly say preference is given to minorities, persons of color, and etc.. They do this not only for employment opportunities, but also for students, grants, and etc..

This has been decades in the making and why Canada is now a shitshow. Just look at some of the highlights from the recent 2026 NDP convention. It is an accurate representation of what our institutions look like.

Of course, this can be perceived as discrimination, and white male researchers from these regions who wish to apply for these positions are in an uncomfortable situation.

Beyond questioning these targeted recruitment practices, another approach for those who can afford it would be to literally change countries. For example, I recently read an article where professors expressed their disappointment at not being able to help promising students find research positions in various fields because all applications had been rejected solely because these brilliant students were also white male. Well, these students got tired of playing this game and left. They got positions, one in Singapore, the other in Germany, and can pursue their careers in excellent research environments without being the useful idiots of these DEI-compliant laws.

Actually, it's like with taxes; at some point, you can't always stop elected officials from voting for ever-increasing taxes, ever-higher ones, systematically targeting working people. So these categories of people, the middle class and the like, well, they vote with their feet, as they say, and leave for somewhere else, under a more favorable sky.

The Canadian Constitution is a sick joke.

How are they going to check candidates' sexual orientation? With any kinda anal test that some states in Asia and Africa use to find undercover homosexuals?

Shit like this is why I always put bisexual and mixed race on job applications.

I’m white as fuck but it’s not like they’re gonna have me do a DNA test.

When questioned it’s easy as fuck to feign ignorance. Just say your great great great grandparent was [insert token minority race here] and so you figured that didn’t make you white.

If representation is the rationale, then representation should be measured honestly and locally.

I would just like to add the point that current women hold 55% of Tier 2 Science Chair positions in Canada. While men hold roughly 40%. So not only are women being given an advantage but men are already underrepesented.

Canada defines equality and more equity as a one way street. It prioritizes group they define as "equity deserving" and excludes everyone else.

They are directly commiting the ecological fallacy. Making a claim that since a group level statistic may find that these "equity deserving" are in need that the protection and funding should go directly to them.

I know that for govnemrnt run business the Employment Equity Act applies and only grants protections to women, visible Minorities, Aboriginals and people with accessibility issues. The only group I feel who should be protected are those with accessibility issues. While the other should be designed as gender and race. Which would ensure that men or white people when underrepresented can be protected by the act.

Though the EE act does apply access many federal jobs. I do believe this is a seperate funding structure that the government itself requires of universities. If anyone know how this requirement is legally laid out by the government of Canada. I would love to hear about it as to understand the mechanism behind it.

If most places are doing this why not do a class action lawsuit?

Aware_Ask_1679 · 2026-04-24T13:31:37+00:00

But, they told me this doesn't happen? 🤷🏻‍♂️
