The State of Social Justice in Academia in Quebec: A Literature-Based Exploratory Examination
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This literature-based thesis presents some of the various aspects of social justice related to academia, especially the higher education sector. The domain of this research consists of the academic institutions of Quebec. Although Quebec’s education system has made efforts to implement social justice criteria in institutions, there are still some gaps including discrimination, racism, leadership issues, and funding problems that must be accurately addressed and remedied. Next comes information about these gaps, followed by their examination, one by one, through a given educational social justice framework. Some suggestions for the learning goals of individuals and groups follow. The role of administration and faculty in achieving the goal of social justice is highlighted as well. \nAdditionally, the thesis underlines the important roles of government organizations related directly to education for facilitating learning in an inclusive and safe environment for all. Finally, the benefits for society in implementing social justice criteria in educational institutions are discussed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
