Letter to the Star - August 31st

The conclusion of York University's Panel on Racism is that the students need more social space. It is good that the problem will so quickly be solved as it is expected that some hundreds or perhaps thousands of Jewish students will no longer attend that university.

Ignatieff's great grandfather's solution to the pogroms against Jews in Russia was that the Jews should leave Russia. They did, and it helped the Jews, including my grandfather, but not the Russians. I expect that the result for York and its students will be similar - a good education for Jewish students at other universities and a morally and financially impoverished York University.
