York University gets an "F" in free speech:
York was rated one of the worst campuses for free speech in a new report by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF). In the JCCF’s 2013 Campus Freedom Index, released on September 24, the York Federation of Students received a failing F for its policies and practices of free speech. York’s administration didn’t fair much better in the report, receiving a D for its policies and practices.
York was not the only campus to receive bad grades. The index measures the level of free speech at Canadian universities using an A – F grading scale. Of 45 universities, 23 earned at least one ‘F’. The report says 51 per cent of campuses studied have censored student expression and free speech.
In giving the YFS a failing grade, they allege the student union has no commitment to campus free speech in its policies, and YFS executives can discriminate against campus clubs on the basis of the club’s beliefs. The JCCF also alleges the YFS’ campus elections rules give election officers power to censor speech during elections or referenda...
Funny how entrenched Zionhass and the absence of free speech tend to go hand-in-hand.
