No trust in this process. You don’t investigate yourself and expect the public to have confidence justice will be served.

I've been saddened today to learn that the University of Alberta is going down MAGA road and wants to abolish Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

So I've written to University President Bill Flanagan, warning him of the legal risks. Because the University may need suing.
