CORRECTION: In this episode, we stated that U of T rescinded the hiring of a professor because a donor disagreed with the political views of a particular visiting professor that U of T had considered hiring. In fact, the position was an administrative one, and an independent investigation concluded that the donor did not influence the university’s decision to discontinue the recruitment, and that no formal offer of employment had been made.
