CBC: UPEI mandatory retirement hearings end

A P.E.I. Human Rights Commission panel heard closing arguments Tuesday on whether mandatory retirement at the University of Prince Edward Island is discriminatory.

Three university employees were forced to retire at age 65 in 2005: Richard Wills, a professor in sociology and anthropology; Yogi Fell, a staff member at the Atlantic Veterinary College; and psychology professor Thomy Nilsson.
