You decide.
This is a video extract from the first day (May 2, 2011) of binding arbitration hearings in the academic freedom case of tenured physics professor Denis Rancourt at the University of Ottawa, Canada.
The hearing dates are scheduled well into 2012.
I have heard about a non-linear time theory but I have always found it difficult to understand. Maybe UofO admin can explain it. They seem to hold it as a self evident truth.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what book or case the second quote references - is it from a book or famous case? Is there a cite?

ReplyDeleteNo luck finding anything with that title or quote, other than on this page. ISBN number or publisher? Closest thing seems to be some web references to an Italian anarchist named Errico Malatesta, who died in 1932.
