There are a few private Canadian institutions that have the right under the law to discriminate on the basis of religious affiliation, of which TWU is one. The practice is much more widely accepted in the U.S., where there are hundreds of such institutions. The CAUT has been conducting investigations of some of those Canadian schools, although not on the basis of a complaint filed by any faculty member of the schools in question. Here's a report on one such investigation:</span><span style='color:black'> <br><br><a href="http://www.caut.ca/pages.asp?page=978&lang=1" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>http://www.caut.ca/pages.asp?page=978&lang=1</span></a></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'> </span><span style='color:black'><br><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>This issue has implications for much larger questions, about whether we are able to tolerate religious voices in a democracy. See for example the Bouchard Taylor Commission. Does our national vision of multicultural diversity include religion? What if that religion itself excludes others? These are complex ethical issues, as Tibor's note suggests. I, for one, think that the insistence on rational discourse alone in higher education is itself an exclusionary tactic that privileges certain voices and interests. Performance studies has an important contribution to make to the discussion, so I think it's a good topic for all of us. </span><span style='color:black'><br><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Regards,</span><span style='color:black'> <br><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Simon</span><span style='color:black'> <br><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>======================================================<br>Simon W. du Toit<br>B.Ed., M.F.A., Ph.D.<br>Undergraduate Chair, Communication, Media, and Film<br>Sessional Instructor, School of Dramatic Art<br>Room 4113, Lambton Tower; (519) 253-3000 x2847<br>University of Windsor</span><span style='color:black'> <br><br><br><br></span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#5F5F5F'>From: </span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Aida Jordao <<a href="mailto:a.jordao@UTORONTO.CA" target="_blank">a.jordao@UTORONTO.CA</a>></span><span style='color:black'> <br></span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#5F5F5F'>To: </span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'><a href="mailto:CANDRAMA@LISTSERV.UNB.CA" target="_blank">CANDRAMA@LISTSERV.UNB.CA</a>, </span><span style='color:black'><br></span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#5F5F5F'>Date: </span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>2013-02-07 10:38 AM</span><span style='color:black'> <br></span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#5F5F5F'>Subject: </span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Re: Full-Time Tenure Track Position in Theatre - Trinity Western University</span><span style='color:black'> <br></span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#5F5F5F'>Sent by: </span><span style='font-size:7.5pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Canadian Theatre Research <<a href="mailto:CANDRAMA@LISTSERV.UNB.CA" target="_blank">CANDRAMA@LISTSERV.UNB.CA</a>></span><span style='color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='color:black'><hr size=2 width="100%" noshade style='color:#ACA899' align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><br><br><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Hi Peter et al,<br>Doesn't this advertisement for "a committed Christian" discriminate on the basis of religion?
