Carleton University is looking to implement a new policy that has ruffled some feathers. It’s called the Institutional Impartiality Policy, and it remains in the consultation phase for now. The goal of this policy, according to the institution, is to ensure that the university can remain impartial. Now, individuals will still be able to express their own personal views, but academic units and other university bodies will be limited in issuing collective statements on matters of public or political debate. That isn’t sitting well with the Carleton Human Rights Society, and they are pushing back. President Nir Hagigi joins Kristy Cameron on today's Ottawa Now.
