Large US U's it's  there now, many Canadian ones also. I know for sure U Windsor is very woke .. also Conestoga, Waterloo, U Vic



Woke is  not strong  quite everywhere  ... but it grows everyday

It's at U of Calgary too where my daughter is studying..



So far, it's not in her department.

The sooner the better.

Yep! Offer crap products and have poor business model and you deserve to fail.



Asian foreign students are keeping Canadian and American unis afloat. When they stop coming, it's lights out for many of the Trotsky factories.

A degree from an American Ivy League university is still considered prestigious everywhere in the world.


I'd consider it a mark of shame....



...despite the positions and salaries some of them pull down.

This is why top tier Western universities are so sought after by East Asian students..



They move ahead of their peers when they return home and look for work.

It still gives Koreans a leg up in an economy that is not producing jobs. But, they demand value for the large amounts of money spent on a foreign advanced degree. No MA in contemporary dance like Herman has. :laugh3:

Mehler is a tenured professor at Ferris State University in Big Rapids, Michigan.



Mehler has been teaching at Ferris for nearly 30 years in the humanities department and is the director of the university's Institute for the Study of Academic Racism

This idiot typifies what I believe is the fallacy of the American tertiary education system; that it provides quality education to its students.



This is why American degrees hold such little currency in other countries, with few exceptions.



It is yet another imaginary building block that America's collapsing society was built upon.

You are wrong. This guy is the exception. Asians with means want their sons and daughters to get an advanced degree from an Ivy league school.

Dr. Jordan Peterson has resigned from the University of Toronto and issued a scathing rebuke of academia in an essay for the National Post.



Peterson, a former tenured professor at the university, said that he could no longer stomach the school's feverish, frenzied, and over-the-top push for diversity, equity, and inclusion.



Peterson explained that he could no longer idly stand by and watch what he called "qualified and supremely trained heterosexual white male graduate students" be overlooked for research positions due to a push for diversity, equity, and inclusion.



Peterson said that cancel culture and overt political correctness are also at the nefarious center of secondary education culture's corruption and that otherwise brilliant instructors are made to kowtow to diversity initiatives or lose their livelihoods.



"All of you going along with the [diversity, inclusion, and equity] activists, whatever your reasons: This is on you," he said. "Cowering cravenly in pretence and silence. Teaching your students to dissimulate and lie. To get along. As the walls crumble. For shame. CEOs: Signalling a virtue you don't possess and shouldn't want to please a minority who literally live their lives by displeasure. You're evil capitalists, after all, and should be proud of it. At the moment, I can't tell if you're more reprehensibly timid even than the professors. Why the hell don't you banish the human resource [diversity, inclusion, and equity] upstarts back to the more-appropriately-named Personnel departments, stop them from interfering with the psyches of you and your employees, and be done with it?"

Frankly, I'm surprised he lasted as ling in academia as he did.

The only thing a college degree shows is that you've had four years of liberal indoctrination and zero real world experience. They're worthless. Go to electrician's school instead if you want to make good money.

These woke, conformist cookie cutter indoctrination centres are rapidly devaluing every tertiary qualification with the exception of the traditional professional fields such as medicine and engineering. I include in the list of "so what" degrees law and journalism.
