Welcome to academia! You see members of the "regressive left" that are the majority in academia, love the idea of "victimhood". On top of the list of victims are Muslims! This very well explains why does the left love Islam when Islam is the exact opposite of what the left is supposed to be all about

So what is better for an academic institution than to hire not just a Muslim, but also a Muslim woman, and a Muslim woman of color, oh and a Muslim woman of color that is of Pakistani origin. And it would help her case if she is a lesbian or transgender and even better if she is wearing a hijab. In other words: virtue signaling at its best

Her quality as a teacher/researcher or the subject that she is teaching are not important at all

And this is what is happening in many learning institutions where parents are paying $60,000 per year for their children's education And what do they get back? Indoctrination and no critical thinking

There you have it
