The Faculty Association of the University of Waterloo (FAUW) says its “Equity Committee” must be at least 50% non-male and 50% non-white in order to have “gender and racial parity.”

In a recruitment email obtained by Quilette editor Jonathan Kay, the association writes that “per our terms of reference, the Equity Committee seeks applications from women, nonbinary, and trans folks in order to maintain gender parity.”
