Uranium mining’s polluted legacy

Just an hour’s drive north of Kingston, 30,000 acres of private and crown land have been staked for uranium exploration, causing grave concern amongst both aboriginal and non-native communities.

Letters to the Editors

The Feb. 29 issue of the Journal states, “Vice-Principal (Academic) Patrick Deane said the University doesn’t involve itself in political issues and has no official stance on the Lovelace case.” Patrick Deane’s claim is blatantly false; recent history holds at least five cases where the university publicly held political positions. On Sept. 21, 2005, the University returned David Radler’s $1 million gift because “the integrity of this gift to the University has been compromised.” Again in 2005, the University strongly opposed a T.A. union drive and engaged in public communication denouncing the proposed union.
