WOKE PROFS AT CARLETON UNIVERSITY

 There’s no doubt that police services across Canada face challenges of racial bias in the way they do their work. It’s the sort of problem where one might expect intelligent insight or useful solutions from an organization like Carleton University’s Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice.

Instead, Carleton’s criminology professors are reducing their engagement with these real-world problems by cancelling student internships with a wide range of policing and corrections organizations, starting next school year.

Cutting its ties to police and corrections organizations would undermine something the institute touts as an advantage on its own web site, which says  “Carleton’s location in Ottawa gives you research and employment opportunities at the Department of Justice, the RCMP, the Correctional Service of Canada, the National Crime Prevention Centre and the Canadian Resource Centre for Victims of Crime.”
