Ottawa Citizen: Students sue University of Ottawa for barring controversial professor
OTTAWA-Two graduate students and a researcher have filed a lawsuit against the University of Ottawa, claiming “their academic and research careers have been frustrated and/or derailed” after a controversial physics professor was barred from campus.
Denis Rancourt, a tenured professor, has attracted attention for his unconventional methods, including a plan to give all students in a fourth-year and graduate-level course in physics an A-plus. He has been placed on academic suspension.
