The University of Victoria Libraries supports the Canadian Library Association's position on the libel suit against Dale Askey and urges Edwin Mellen Press to drop this suit which UVic Libraries considers to be an affront to academic freedom.
Future purchase of Mellen Press titles will be considered on a case-by-case basis and only at the written request of a faculty member.
