Campus police deny asking protester to leave

A Western University dean is demanding answers about how campus police broke up a student demonstration during Orientation Week.

Nick Dyer-Witheford, acting dean of the faculty of information and media studies, contacted the university to request a review into whether campus police turfed protesters or asked them to move their demonstration to another area of campus.

An official from the university who spoke with campus police maintains the group was merely asked to relocate.

Proposed Christian law school should be denied accreditation, Clayton Ruby says

A proposed Christian law school would be fundamentally inconsistent with Canadian law and should be denied accreditation, prominent lawyer Clayton Ruby says.

In a letter addressed to the Federation of Law Societies of Canada, he and three other lawyers, including a professor of law at the University of Ottawa, are asking the federation to block the accreditation of a Christian law school at British Columbia’s Trinity Western University (TWU), claiming the school’s policies discriminate against homosexuality.
