As individual faculty or staff working at the University of British Columbia, we strongly endorse the UBC administration's support of academic freedom. Our colleague Dr. Sunera Thobani, like any faculty member, has the right to express her views on the effects of American foreign policy and globalization.

Informed and critical discussion of issues arising from the events of Sept. 11 needs to take place on campus and in the community without censorship or intimidation. We commend Dr. Thobani for having the courage to make a public contribution to this important debate.
