Standing up for language rights

The University of Ottawa will be the managing institution for the Harper administration’s Language Rights Support Program (LRSP), according to an announcement by the Minister of Canadian Heritage, James Moore, on Sept. 9. 

The appointment of a managing institution represents the need for a third party.  The LRSP uses its budget to support court cases in which an individual, group, or organization may challenge someone’s language rights. 

Online communication not as anonymous as it seems

York University won a court order earlier this month requiring Google Inc., Bell Canada and Rogers Communications to reveal the identities behind individuals who sent e-mails accusing the university’s president of academic fraud, proving online anonymity is not guaranteed.

In January, York University president Mamdouh Shoukri named Martin Singer the inaugural dean of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies. In Shoukri’s press release, he called Singer “a scholar of Chinese history and a veteran academic administrator.”
