“We hope most will see it simply as an act of conscience from academics no longer able to remain silent…Many agree with us – including senior, tenured faculty – but will not speak publicly for fear of repercussions. Specifically, they are scared even to question Tri-Council policies relating to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI). As we will outline in this brief, these policies disproportionately punish small institutions, are not supported by evidence, employ flawed metrics with no end goal, and are unpopular with the public who funds the research. That researchers are fearful of publicly speaking out against these policies reinforces our recommendation to abolish them altogether.”
