I love your idea of the "Office of Devil's Advocacy," although I am preety sure that is what the EDI offices are. I suggest that we might have an "Office of God's advocacy!
Sadly, the modern university is worse than working for Tony Soprano. Even the mafia operates based on logic and merit even if the goals and means are ethically suspect. The university is less honest and less effective.
Yes it's remarkable how many people have been coming to the defense of Tony Soprano! That a mob boss is viewed more favorably than a university should tell us something!
"the campus Rainbow Centre" is not about the LGBs. (Lesbian, Gay, Bi). The Rainbow has been coopted by trans-activists. The LGBs are seething about it mostly, and disgusted with the revisionist "history" that casts a tranny as the hero of Stonewall. In the real world there was zero participation by cross-dressers. That specific tranny was stoned on heroin in bed at the time of Stonewall.
Woke Dementia has been holding Canadian (and North American in general) academia in a stranglehold since at least the early 90s, so it's about time someone spoke against this horrible pandemic.
University compelled racism, sexism, and benefits to preferred sexualities, has contributed to the decline and corruption of every academic and professional discipline in the university, In fact, it is doubtful that any Canadian institution today deserves the label "university." This is a result of the vandalism of government institutions imposed on what were once educational and research institutions. Decadence is us.
Academia is a Leftist/Jacobin boot camp.
I also have terrible examples of this nonsense from Canadian campuses. It is a disgrace, really.
It is as though the "powers that be" are actively attempting to destroy STEM.

Thanks for writing this essay,

Ha! Exactly right! Thus suggests the Catholic Church should enlist diversicrats to argue against canonization!

Wiki is good for certain items. Don't go overboard.
“Mussolini made the trains run on time.”
“Hitler established the world’s first no-smoking and anti-animal cruelty laws.”
Don’t go overboard there, Himmler.
Nazi smears - typical. You're an anonymous idiot.
A: Tony Soprano. DEI commissars are totally toxic.
Great work, all the best and cheers!
Thank you for your courage
You certainly aren’t working for Tony Soprano, which would as horrible as it is would be an improvement.

The sad reality is that Tony Soprano had more integrity than most academics.
I have to say, after my experiences, that I sort of agree.
There is a reason people resort to using the Mafia for various tasks. The regular justice system and other related entities fail them. And so...
Exactly!

That's why the Rocky Horror Picture Show got banned.
Frank N. Furter is a mere cross-dresser, not a real tranny.
And a murderer, but I repeat myself.
"B"?
As if there are only two?
Marsha P Johnson was late to the party! And he was a gay man who did drag, not a trans woman ;-)
I know what you mean.

"Liberal defenders"??
It was liberals who lay flat and let the highly illiberal Left stop all over them.
Put them back in and they'll do it again.
Remember, liberals: it was all worth it to stick it to the racist Nazis of the right.
Right up until YOU became the Nazis.
Poetic justice is so rare in the real world, you have to savor it when it happens.
