But the pattern is similar as to what is described here. Statistics are used to reach the desired conclusions. The papers have obvious flaws in selection bias and confirmation bias. The math is not easy to follow, there are contradictions which are not explained. The raw data is not available.
The papers are published in an obscure journal where the management has emotional attachments to the subject (bears) which cause an obvious bias.
The papers are hailed as absolute truth by the media and by interest groups who are emotionally and financially benefiting from the false conclusions.
The bias against carefully reporting results, and in publishing what are the desired results, has very likely resulted in the deaths of 7 or 8 people who relied on the results as valid.
This is a very small example, but it indicates how wide the corruption has spread. A huge amount, probably much more than 50% of academic papers are not reliable.
It's a pervasive con. Academics cloak their blather in impenetrable language in order to conceal how little actual thought is contained in it. Mediocre minds are going into academia, using corruption and cronyism to secure revenue from government grant issuers.
In exchange, what they really are doing is not exploring knowledge, but rather indoctrinating students, and performing filtering to ensure that conservatives do not get into positions of power.
Higher education is anything but. The more prestigious the dumber you come out.
Gay retained her $900k salary and still holds a job at the Cambridge campus so what was the punishment? She lost a title?
Corruption in all our institutions is a problem.
I suggested in another post that those glasses look like something you’d wear for eye protection in a blast furnace.
“You get silly things like D.I.E. implemented. (Diversity Inclusion Equality)”
Technically, it’s Equity not Equality. The two are not the same concept.
Equity has more to do with ownership and possession, as well as a legal dimension (as in courts of equity). For example, you build equity in a house over time, or in ownership of stock. That meaning never entirely went away in the current usage. To make things equitable something may have to be taken from you and given to someone else.
Here’s how it works today: You’re a white man and have a certain level of intelligence and ability and you’d be a credit to society if you were allowed to flourish, but you have to give something up so that someone else not like you can take possession of some benefit or advantage that you otherwise certainly qualified for and for which you would have redeemed yourself many times over, for example by your dedication and hard work. You are expected togive up or are denied a chance for a job or a position, or opportunity (e.g., graduate school) so that someone else who didn’t work hard and who didn’t dedicate himself to achieving is given it instead, even though that person is not and will never be a credit to society. You do get the benefit of being denounced for having privilege, however, so not all is lost. (That last remark was sarcasm.)
Your writing of the acronym as DIE instead of the demanded form of DEI is spot on, however! The DIE acronym indicates their true thinking about us.
Jordan Peterson gets the credit here. I have not read much of his stuff but apparently he makes liberals go into wild fits of rage. Good for him!

Good discussion on equity.
The logical conclusion of “equity” however, is that privileged white males must be exterminated.
Otherwise they will continue to work the system to their advantage since they are so clever.
It is the equity “final solution”.

Strafing the Beast works; too.
Sorry, But HR has a HUGE input on hiring, and most HR positions are college grads; so...
There is a large property down the road from me where the wife is a realtor and the husband has a HVAC business.
None of which required college and both of which are doing EXTREMELY well financially; judging from the fine looking horses and other animals they have that reside in better outbuildings than my HOUSE!
The goose laid golden eggs come to mind...
Its a byproduct of affirmative action.
