If anyone is curious, most Canadian university post the thesis and dissertation research online. Another place to casually check out Thesis Canada, which is a collaboration with Library and Archives Canada to publicly post these studies.

When I look at the titles in these repositories, it readily becomes evident that there has been a recent bias on what research is approved.

The DEI tradeoff is worse than you think: Eric Kaufmann​

The University of Buckingham professor joins Rob Breakenridge to explain the results of his latest research

A new study is adding some important context to the debate around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion policies: specifically, the cost of these policies. The National Post’s Rob Breakenridge is joined by University of Buckingham professor and Macdonald-Laurier Institute senior fellow Eric Kaufmann to discuss his new study, “The Equity-Excellence Trade-Off: A Study of EDI in the Canada Research Chairs Program.” Kaufmann argues that the aggressive push within academia for DEI targets has come with significant and measurable costs to research. According to the study, groups that benefit from DEI policies tend to have the lowest research impact. Kaufmann says his research also points to a growing emphasis on “scholarly activism,” particularly in the social sciences and humanities. We’ll find out more about what the study found, and what sort of reform is necessary to address these problems.

I don't like the direction that that is going.

There's a lot of stuff on the fringes and most of it never goes very far.

What's interesting about the particular case is the amount of stuff being blurted out by at least a couple of jurors about people who started the trial with ideas in motion and brought their "lived experiences" into the mix.
