OTTAWA: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF.ca) today released the 2013 Campus Freedom Index, a report which measures the state of free speech at 45 Canadian public universities.

Each university receives four letter grades for each of university policies, university practices, student union policies, and student union practices.
