The Chronicle Herald: University teachers group tells Acadia to rehire professor

WOLFVILLE — An association representing faculty at 120 universities and colleges across Canada has given Acadia University a failing grade for the way it handled the dismissal of a professor.

In a report made public Wednesday, the Canadian Association of University Teachers called on Acadia to restore fired professor Colin Wightman to his tenured position and compensate him for lost salary, benefits and legal expenses.
