University Commons Divided

Investigating issues of university governance in Canada, University Commons Divided analyzes several major cases at the university level that have come to exemplify infringements on the freedom of expression

Peter MacKinnon is President Emeritus of the University of Saskatchewan and currently interim executive director of the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary.

"Written in easily-digestible prose, University Commons Divided is an excellent resource for students of higher education, university governance, or Canadian law."

Paul Axelrod:

"This book, [Mackinnon’s] second treatise on university governance, rings alarm bells about the direction of Canadian higher education…[it] is a worthwhile contribution, and the author deserves credit for writing frankly and provocatively.."

J Robert S Prichard, OC, OOnt, President Emeritus, University of Toronto:

"MacKinnon is an excellent lawyer, clear analytical thinker and graceful writer which, combined with his long and successful presidencies, ideally positions him to address these issues. His book will be a valued addition to thinking hard about universities and the challenges they present‎.”
