On October 28, the Alberta Court of Appeal upheld the University of Calgary’s decision not to disclose certain records of two faculty members, broadly interpreting the teaching and research exemptions under Alberta’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

Blue background with text that reads "The decision is a big win for academic freedom and the protections essential for quality scholarly work. It reminds us that educators must be free to teach, research and engage publicly without fear that freedom of information laws can be weaponized against them."

The Canadian Association of University Teachers condemns the Alberta government for overriding constitutionally protected rights and imposing a rejected contract offer on members of the Alberta Teachers’ Association.

Green background with white text that reads "The Alberta government’s actions are reprehensible, heavy-handed and undemocratic. The UCP government had other options to resolve the dispute, but instead chose to declare all-out war on the fundamental rights of Albertans and all Canadians."

In a decision yesterday, the ABCA stated that "academic freedom exists to protect all scholarship, including that which may be unpopular or politically targeted." So-called 'activism' is still "research" + "teaching" exempted from FOIP applications. See 2025 ABCA 350, canlii.ca/t/kg5f3 at [40-42].
