National Post: Ottawa professor fired over perfect grades

OTTAWA — The University of Ottawa has fired its controversial physics professor, Denis Rancourt.

He was suspended in December after he attracted national attention for his teaching methods, including giving a grade of A-plus to every student in an advanced physics class.

Rancourt plans to grieve the dismissal with his union, which in turn will take it to court, he said.
