There are two issues here. One is the question of meritocracy that is non-discrimination on the basis of race and sex, which we've heard a lot about. There's also a point called viewpoint diversity. I mentioned that 75% to 90% of academics in Canada, according to Chris Dummitt and Zach Patterson's survey, were on the left, so you have very few conservative voices from academia. We're seeing in the United States the implications that this has or may have for the health of the higher education sector.
If you create a hostile environment for certain beliefs, such as conservatism, then you are going to essentially force those people to not go down the academic pathway, and therefore you deprive.... The social sciences and humanities in particular politicize disciplines that need viewpoint diversity in order to arrive at the correct answer. They're not going to get that viewpoint diversity, so you're going to get all kinds of research that's going to go way off track.
