Daniel Soberman, emeritus professor at Queen's University was awarded the Milner Memorial Award at the May 1997 CAUT Council meeting. The award was established by CAUT in honour of James Milner, a former chairperson of the Academic Freedom & Tenure […]

Sandra Bruneau’s article "Whither Jill? A Reply to Andrew Irvine on Affirmative Action" (1997 SWC Supplement) contains a careless and unfair accusation about Professor Irvine which deserves a response. I am in a good position to provide one. Specifically, Dr. […]

CAUT has been examining services provided for its retired members during the past several years. CAUT representatives have attended meetings of retired faculty members which were convened at the time of the learned societies in Montreal and at Brock University. […]

Sandra Bruneau’s discussion in the April Bulletin of Andrew Irvine’s paper on equity and discrimination in university hiring (Dialogue XXXV, 1996) shows a fine capacity for ferreting out what Irvine "assumes," "suggests" and "hints" between the lines. But since one […]
