Carleton allows pro-Khomeini event:
And Carleton, like all other Canadian universities, encourages a culture of debate and free expression.”Spokesman Steven Reid said the university would intervene if an event on cam-pus was promoting hate, illegal acts or violations of the Human Rights Code. “Beyond that, we don’t step in and quash things.”
Now seems like a good time to link to the images of Ruth Lobo, Carleton student, being put in handcuffs and led to a police paddy wagon for engaging her own campus on the abortion issue. Nice try, Carleton, nice try.

Not to mention the irony of invoking “free expression” in defense of a conference celebrating a figure who, these days, is probably best remembered for putting a 6-million-dollar bounty on an author because of something he wrote.
Good post. Carlton, and it’s not the only University. needs the spotlight. Claiming to promote ‘a culture of debate and free expression’ while at the same time restricting what topics can be presented is certainly hypocritical and has no place in learning institutions.
