Junior fellows at Massey College are demanding an apology and anti-racism training after an incident involving a senior fellow at the college.
The incident is described in an open letter written to Hugh Segal, the head of the college, and signed by dozens of junior and senior members.
The letter claims that on Sept. 26, senior fellow Michael Marrus addressed a black junior fellow in the presence of Segal, whose formal title is “Master of Massey College.”
The letter says that addressing the junior fellow, Marrus allegedly said “You know this is your master, eh? Do you feel the lash?”
The letter does not say where the incident took place or what the larger conversation was about.
In addition to being a senior fellow at Massey College, Marrus is a history professor at the University of Toronto, with a specialty in Holocaust studies.
“To hear what he said was very surprising, only because it is completely out of character,” Segal said. “And I can't attribute what he had in mind other than I think he thought he was trying to be funny and I think it was a miscalculation. But whatever was said was said and I condemn it. I take it very seriously and have to address it in that way.” (more...)

One nation is set against another, while the sodomites condescendingly smile on. There is not an ounce of sincerity or truth in this institution.
