After refusing to honour a male student’s request to be separated from his female classmates for religious reasons, a York University professor has found himself at odds with administrators who assert he broke their “obligation to accommodate.”“It represents a great leap backwards,” said sociology professor J. Paul Grayson. “When I was a student, you couldn’t have gotten away with that — it wouldn’t even have been considered.”

Great guy, he should get a raise.
Better make him the dean.
Sorry Mr. Grayson but you are going to have to DO something about it. Resign, walk away from the paycheck, make noise on the way out. We are all going to have to do this when our time comes. We have to stand up to this shit whatever the personal cost.
I first thought it could an Orthodox Jew or a Muslim but then I read this:
"He attended the group session without protest and even wrote a memo to Mr. Grayson thanking him “for the way you have handled this request.”
“He’s a reasonable guy,” said Mr. Grayson.
Nevertheless, the rejection incensed university brass. According to Mr. Grayson, on October 18, he received a letter from the Dean of the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies ordering him to accommodate the student’s wishes."
Sounds like the student backstabbed the professor. Pretended he didn't care and then wrote to someone higher up.
This is very typical of Muslims. Two faced snakes.
And the way his identity is being protected, if it was a Jewish student, his name would be all over the freakin newspaper.

Anon,
He leaves and all those folks who hold on to any form of principles leave and resign...then what? Its not going to remain a vacuum. Some liberal terrorist or Muslim terrorist is going to fill that vacancy.
I hope he stays and FIGHTS. And if he gets fired, I hope he takes it to court. But seeing that the guy is actually intent on playing nice, I'm not sure he'll stand his ground.

Point taken. I should calm down before I post.

A few points about York University. A young friend of mine did a BA there before returning to Germany where she wanted to continue her University education. They had a good look at her degree, the syllabus and other requirements and equated the BA with a German high school equivalent. Toronto does have a real University, York is for all those who can't make U of T.
