University's decision to accommodate request very troubling
Gutless. That’s the only word that comes to mind when one thinks of how York University handled an accommodation request earlier this month from a sociology student who wanted to be excused from group work with women, citing religious grounds.
The Toronto-based university’s human rights centre gave a thumbs-up to the request, which stunned Paul Grayson, the sociology professor who wanted to deny the request but went through appropriate channels first. It also offended pretty much every Canadian in the process.
