York University
Reader comment on item: The Rot in Our [Canadian] Universities

Submitted by Andrea Hyatt (United States), Jan 31, 2003 at 03:17

Dear Mr. Pipes.
I am so utterly disgusted by the way you were treated at York University. Your article made me shudder to think that such conduct has become standard fare on so many campuses. The use of the word Rot is well chosen.! I know a few alums from assorted Universities who are withholding their dollars..........I wish more of them would.

What you are attempting to do with your Campus Watch is so vital!!!! How are things going in that regard?
May you continue to have the strength for all your efforts!
