I wonder if Christopher Guly also got Notice pursuant to his "Suit with racial tones to mediation", The Lawyers Weekly, 2 December 2011?
Thank heaven this is a university where freedom of expression, dissent and critique are thriving!! Yeah, right. A National Post article yesterday stated that most Canadian universities are doing a horrible job of protecting free speech on campuses. In this day and age of hyper-vigilance around bullying, what we're seeing is an example of academic bullying and no pushback from those being repressed. As much as those in authority take their power, far too many who are victimized give up their power. Glad to be out of Academia where I no longer have to goose step to corporatized groupthink. And to remember that millions of people, through taxation and tuition, pay the salaries of those who repress young minds. For those less imaginative - these are just my opinion, so I'm not holding any of this as "fact", and as far as I am aware, I am free to express my conscience as a free citizen - so please no threats of suing. Sad that I even have to mention this in a debate about bullying on a university campus.... What I'm curious about is where is the rest of the outrage from the university community and broad society about academic bullying???
