Eight diversity gap studies (2016-18)-and accompanying infographics-on Canadian universities are available open-access. Intersectional equity studies examine representation, recognition, research chairs (CRCs, Canada150), leadership #cdnpse
2)One early independent study focused on the persistent inequities in research chairs, which universities are finally addressing: "Gender Gap in Canada Research Chairs by Tier and Granting Agency at U15 Institutions" (Aug 2016) #cdnpse uofaawa.wordpress.com/awa-diversity-… via @wordpressdotcom
3)Our intersectional diversity gap study on Canadian university leadership released in Aug 2016. examined the U15 and selected universities in western Canada, revealing few racialized and Indigenous leaders, particularly among women #cdnpse
4)If Canadian universities did an equity awards of all teaching, research, service & engagement awards & recognitions what patterns would they find? Our June 2016 findings #cdnpse
5)If a regularized equity audit of the "academic pipeline" was conducted at your university what would the disaggregated and intersectional data show? Our findings: #cdnpse
6)If CDN universities conducted equity audits of research chairs what would they find about patterns of talent ID, selection, appointments & representation? #cdnpse
7)Do Canadian universities' leadership reflect equitable academy they advocate? Conundrum: The leadership does not model diversity in most Canadian universities #cdnpse
8)Is the leadership diversity gap closing at Canadian universities? Examine the pattern of appointing directors, assoc chairs, chairs, assoc deans, deans, assoc VPs & VPs
9)Since the Employment Equity Act & '86 Federal Contractors Program universities have been pursuing equity. Yet, few claim to have data on equity groups. My findings:

2) @Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson: “Reprehensible outcome in Philadelphia event: “...express our deepest apologies to the two men who were arrested with a goal of doing whatever we can to make things right” #BlackInStarbucksnews.starbucks.com/views/starbuck…
3)Think @Starbucks of family & career impact of picture in handcuffs & perp walk:“Woman Who Shared Philadelphia Starbucks Arrest Video Tells Her Story:video shared by Melissa DePino has been viewed more than four million times in less than 48 hours” @po_stpo.st/lLLpw8
“Lack of diversity persists among teaching staff at Canadian universities, colleges, report...wage gaps for women and racial minorities entrenched with little change over a decade...number of Black university teachers has barely budged in 10 years” #cdnpsethestar.com/news/gta/2018/…
Good to see CAUT release this report, building on our original scholarship in The Equity Myth: Racialization and Indigeneity at Canadian Universities (2017). Faculty assocs, like senior admins, have been slow to address equity, esp racial equity, biases, bullying etc. It’s urgent
3)In this 2018 Academic Women’s Association study I show that there is also a significant diversity gap in Canadian university leadership, with astonishingly few Black and Indigenous ppl: “The Diversity Gap in University Leadership 2018” #cdnpse#highereduofaawa.wordpress.com/awa-diversity-…
