N.S. university teachers association says premier is using political intimidation
The Association of Nova Scotia University Teachers says it condemns the premier’s response, calling it a threat to academic freedom.
Nova Scotia's university teachers association has accused Premier Tim Houston of political intimidation. The association claims his office contacted a Toronto professor after the professor commented on a proposed artificial intelligence data centre. The Association of Nova Scotia University Teachers condemns Houston's response, stating it threatens academic freedom.
The premier's office denies the characterization and maintains a productive relationship with academic institutions. The controversy emerged after Toronto Metropolitan University communications professor Sibo Chen expressed concerns about public opposition to the data centre project in Point Tupper, Nova Scotia.
