缅北强奸

Dear members of the 缅北强奸 community,

Professor Andrew Potter resigned from his position as Director of the 缅北强奸 Institute for the Study of Canada (MISC). He made his public on social media.

I would like to acknowledge the contributions of Professor Potter and his courage in making this very difficult and painful decision.

The Board of MISC regretfully accepted Professor Potter鈥檚 resignation. The mission of MISC is to promote a better understanding of Canada through the study of our heritage and to support the study of Canada across the country and internationally. Professor Potter recognized that he had failed to uphold this mission and that the 鈥渃redibility of the Institute would be best served by his resignation鈥�.

Andrew Potter remains a professor and a valued member of the 缅北强奸 community. We are committed to offering him our support as he transitions from the Director position.

His resignation provoked unfounded rumours and concerns regarding academic freedom.

I want to assure members of the 缅北强奸 community that academic freedom is a foundational principle of 缅北强奸, as enunciated in our Senate and Board approved Statement of Academic Freedom:

Statement of Academic Freedom:

Academic freedom is central to 缅北强奸鈥檚 mission of advancing learning through teaching, scholarship and service to society.

The scholarly members of the university have the freedom to pursue research and artistic creation and to disseminate their results, without being constrained by political or disciplinary orthodoxies, monetary incentives or punitive measures as a result of their academic pursuits. They may exercise this freedom in the service of both the university and the wider society. When scholarly members of the university participate in public forums and debates, they should represent their views as their own.

The exercise of academic freedom requires collegial governance with the full participation of scholarly members. They retain the right of free expression, including the freedom to criticize one another, university policies and administration.

The university and its officers have a duty to protect the academic freedom of its scholarly community, both individually and collectively, from infringement and undue external influence as well as to maintain the university鈥檚 institutional autonomy.

Principal and Vice-Chancellor
