The University of New Brunswick vice-president, Robert MacKinnon, is shielding Professor Ricardo Duchesne’s allegedly racist remarks against a recent complaint by Vancouver city Councillor Kerry Jang. According to a statement issued on Wednesday regarding the sociology professor, MacKinnon stated that the school’s mission and values support freedom of thought and expression while maintaining the highest ethical standards and a respectful environment.

In his remarks, Robert MacKinnon alleged that the complaint Mr. Jang has been “carefully reviewed and addressed.” However, the university failed to provide any further detail regarding how that is being done. In his response to the university’s statement, Mr. Jang alleged that it was insufficient and “vague,” while asserting to have never heard from the University of New Brunswick about the issue. The issue was created last summer when Jhang first heard about Prof. Duchesne’s views. He said that “I don’t know if they actually did anything and this is just a way of defending a faculty member, circle the wagons.”

A professor of psychiatry at the University of British Columbia, Mr. Jang, accused Prof. Duchesne of using academic freedom to hide poor scholarship. Jang mentioned that “he’s only providing one view to students and shaping their minds,” except “that whole academic enterprise of why we send our kids to school to become broad thinkers is not being upheld.” Additionally, Mr. Jang stated that Prof. Duchesne’s views on Asian immigration to B.C. are simply untrue and “it really comes across as very white supremacist. That’s just not Canada. It’s a country of immigrants.”

  1. The problem in B.C. is not immigration but too much immigration ! Big difference. The problem with Asians, is they bring their OLD world to OUR world. I guess they never heard of, “when in Rome, do as the Romans do” ! A stupcomment_ID situation getting stupcomment_IDer !!!
