UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR - STAR OR PARIAH

STAR OR PARIAH 
By Bernard Bujold -
Verushka Lieutenant-Duval, a young part-time art professor at the University of Ottawa, has become a world-renowned figure in the space of a few days. But has she become a star or a pariah? 
Her crime, or the action that brought her to the forefront, having used the word "N...ger" to identify a concept in her course on art history? 
Modern society is truly unpredictable. Star in the morning and pariah (monster) in the evening! 
It even remains to be seen whether Rector Jacques Frémont will lose his position for having temporarily suspended the professor because two petitions are now circulating: one supporting the young teacher and criticizing the suspension; but another, from the student association, accusing the professors of racism and asking for very severe sanctions against them! 
To be continued!
