Leaked report stalls bid to end job-offer row
Article Abstract:
Negotiations in a dispute over the withdrawal of a job offer at a Canadian university have stalled after David Noble, the academic in question, leaked the contents of an independent report into the case commissioned by the Canadian Association of University Teachers. Noble, professor of history at York University in Toronto, claimed that he had no option but to leak the report into the withdrawal of the job offer at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver. Noble had been recommended for a prestigious endowed chair at Simon Fraser by the university's humanities department, but this appointment was subsequently rescinded.
