Dear Dr. Marsden:
The Thunder Bay & District Labour
Council, representing more than 9,000 working people, was appalled
to learn of the disregard York University appears to have when it
comes to freedom of expression.
We understand that an extreme
over-reaction on the part of the University took place earlier this
year following a demonstration by students against the policies U.S.
President Bush of globalization and the University’s corporation
connection with these policies.
We would hope that universities continue
in their tradition of allowing students the opportunity to explore
ideas and to express themselves.
Yours sincerely,
Evelina Pan
President
