University Will Only Give Tenure Position To ‘Women, Transgender, Non-Binary, Or Two-Spirit’ People
A tenure track position at a Canadian university is only available to individuals who self-identify as “women, transgender, non-binary, or two-spirit” people, according to a job advertisement.
The University of Waterloo’s Faculty of Environment is looking “to fill a Natural Science and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Tier 2 Canada Research Chair and tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor” to “address the underrepresentation of individuals from equity deserving groups among our Canada Research Chairs,” according to the advertisement.
“Because this is a special opportunity for a specific member of the four designated groups, applicant self-identification information will be used for the purposes of screening and consideration,” it said.

While this could be meant as a satirical piece, I am saddened to acknowledge it is really just a report about the inexplicable admission policies of Waterloo University, which, according to the article, only admits women, transgender, non-binary and two-spirit individuals. I am not going to allow myself to ask what “two-spirit” individuals are, but I assume it relates to an aspect of the native cultures.
In this country, I feel certain it would be against the law to open a school, which denied access to either males or females, but in this age when gender ambivalent (disphoric to the non-binary fans) people are often the center of gravity in certain corners of the culture, I have problems discerning what is considered to be normal…and what is exotic. Wokeness can become very complicated!
