https://www.universityaffairs.ca/search-job/?job_id=58317There’s quite an irony here. If “racialized” people can be selected and that doesn’t include whites, then whites are racialized and could be selected.

Canada at it again. This is now one more among multiple incidents. The actual cause is not even the university itself. Reading the posting, it's pretty clear it's once again because of the main (only) funding agency for natural sciences (NSERC). They have "diversity requirements" to grant money to specific chairs, as is the case here. If the department/university is not naturally "diverse" enough, they're forced to do these kind of job postings or forego the funding entirely. This is how they defend themselves: they have a gun to their head.
NSERC is completely controlled by ideologues to a degree most people would barely be able to conceive of. Think of the most fanatic and ambitious segment of university administrators at your local place, then imagine them combining forces and all congregating at this same institution.
