Margaret, you can lay the blame for this total mess on Prime Minister Trudeau, the father and the creation of the Canadian Human Rights Act, the associated Tribunals and Commission, aided and a bedded by our judicially activist Supreme Court.  
Universities and their administrations have been cowed by the threat of legal action and a public lashing by our media  into bending to each and every whimper.    
University rigour has shrunk so low that the only jobs that our students are good for are being part of the university culture or being a pampered civil servant. 
Is it any wonder why our universities rank so poorly on the international stage.  We're 43!  We're 43! Yay?
