University of Toronto, Scarborough campus curriculum review suggests confusion about what a university is

The summary (and the full document) are here; an excerpt:

The review was launched in the Fall of 2020 with the goal of ensuring that programs and pedagogical approaches at UTSC reflect the diversity of our students and the histories, epistemologies, and pedagogies that have been devalued and violently erased by settler colonialism and systemic injustices. The review’s focus is on Indigenous knowledges and knowledge systems, Black knowledges, racialized perspectives, and international and intercultural perspectives. In addition to these named areas, the review has prioritized an intersectional approach, recognizing that individuals hold multiple identities that shape experiences of oppression, including gender, sexuality, and disability.

Programs at a university should reflect the different domains of knowledge as they currently exist, not the demographic composition of the student body.  Pedagogical approaches should reflect what is known from research about learning styles and successful methods of instruction.   "Histories" and "epistemologies" that have been "devalued and violently erased" by past injustices should be included in those disciplines where they are relevant, such as History or Anthropology, but they are irrelevant to most areas of scholarship and knowledge.  Overall, this sounds like really mindless pandering, ill-befitting a serious university.  Perhaps the full report is more nuanced and serious than the summary they put out suggests.
