There has been a lot of speculation over the last two weeks regarding the abrupt departure of Concordia University’s president.

A growing legion of supporters is offering solidarity to suspended University of Manitoba mathematics professor Gábor Lukács by petitioning the school’s Board of Governors in order to reinstate him.

Lukács was suspended for three months after he questioned the judgment of the university’s dean of graduate studies, John Doering, in his decision to waive a PhD student’s final comprehensive exam, according to an article in Maclean’s.

Photos of strippers taken by a Ryerson University librarian that surfaced Nov. 24 in the Torontoist are raising privacy concerns.

The photos were taken in August and September by digital archives librarian Brian Cameron. Cameron said he would not comment on the issue but in a blog post he said he was “stunned” and “embarassed.”

Two strippers quit following the publication of the photos and many more are in “tears” because of the violation of their privacy, according to a Toronto Sun article.
