Freedom of expression is under attack on campus

The following are author-selected excerpts from University Commons Divided: Exploring Debate & Dissent on Campus, short-listed along with four other books for this year’s Donner Prize, the best public policy book of the year by a Canadian. The winner will be announced on May 1 in Toronto.

Free-speech flashpoints keep popping up on Canadian campuses. University of Toronto professor Jordan Peterson, left, was told that he must use genderless pronouns. Andrew Potter, centre, director of McGill University's Institute for the Study of Canada, resigned after an article he wrote for Maclean's magazine generated controversy. And at the University of Ottawa, a scheduled speech by divisive American commentator Ann Coulter, right, was cancelled because of safety concerns.
