The entire investigative report into the matter of Memorial University banning me from campus can now be published due to it being a part of my application for judicial review and thus in the public registry at the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador. See the report below:

Many of you have been asking for updates, and now I can finally provide one. A few weeks ago, Memorial University lifted the draconian campus ban that they placed on me. However, at the same time, they decided to impose sanctions that were much more severe than the ones recommended by their handpicked investigator.
MUN imposed the sanctions of one-year non-academic probation, a letter of reprimand, and a mandatory session on the effects of bullying. The university’s actions represent a full-frontal assault on the rights to free expression and protest, democracy, and the freedom of the press. They set an awful precedent and could have a chilling effect on other students protesting and sharing their views about the administration.
I have decided that there was no other option than to take MUN to court and have a judge reverse MUN’s decision which I am confident a judge will do.

Memorial University has created a paid staff position through its Chief Risk Officer Greg McDougall with the responsibility for filing complaints against students on behalf of Memorial administration. It sets a precedent for using the Student Code of Conduct to silence anti-administration protests and should not be permitted.
If the Chief Risk Officer is the complainant, should they also be allowed to be involved in the planning with the university administration?
A recently obtained ATIPP request reveals that Greg MacDougall was a co-author of MUN’s statement to the media regarding the December 2, 2021, protest event. See ATIPP file below:
Another recently obtained ATIPP request reveals that Greg MacDougall is one of the main actors within the administration’s planning regarding the situation, as seen through an email trail. He was also a part of the decision to implement the interim measure of a campus ban before the investigation process even began. Should this be allowed?
Why can’t Memorial have an unbiased process with a neutral party?
