McLean’s: Forcing professors to retire is unconstitutional: prof

A former deputy minister who was involved in the negotiations on the 1982 Constitution will now be using it to fight his forced retirement.

Howard Leeson is one of two professors at the University of Regina being forced to retire this month because they are turning 65. Both have launched legal action against their retirements, using the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to argue they are being discriminated against on the basis of age.
