Western Academia is compromised and should be regarded with suspicion, even in the hard sciences.

In the US (Dr. Peterson is Canadian of course), they have been importing large swarms of foreigners as grad students, typically from China or India. I have seen with my own two eyes research jobs that, at an AMERICAN federal land-grant university, ask for "Mandarin speakers only" (and no, it wasn't a linguistics project either).

I know of one prominent state university that deprecated English 101/102 as core curriculum, and replaced it with an easier, renamed course that was essentially a basic Comms course. This was done, per an inside source, because of the large numbers of foreign undergrads who can't pass English 101/102.

The heart of STEM is logic, ingenuity, rationality and results. I suspect we aren't far away from scientific research with dangerously wrong results being approved for publication because the author of the paper is non-white.
