Canadian Computer Science professor fired for being into bondage

Filed under: Academia/Research — Daniel Lemire @ 21:20

Colin Wightman was recently fired from Acadia University. What wrong did he do? Mostly he had a one-time consensual bondage experience with a lady. They also accused him of using the university computers for some cybersex purposes.

The Canadian Association of University Teachers found the dismissal grossly abusive. They call for a censure of Acadia University unless Wightman is rehired.

Disclaimer: I was once a professor at Acadia University.
