The University of Calgary has placed a student on academic probation for comments he made on a Facebook Group, called "I no longer fear Hell, I took a course with [Name of instructor].
In August, Pridgen posted on the wall of a Facebook group critical of his former law instructor. The group was called "I no longer fear Hell, I took a course with [instructor's name]."
Pridgen wrote: "[Instructor's name] IS NO LONGER TEACHING ANY COURSES AT THE U OF C!!!!! Remember when she told us she was a long-term prof? Well actually she was only sessional and picked up our class at the last moment because another prof wasn't able to do it .. lucky us. Well anyways I think we should all congratulate ourselves for leaving a [instructor's name]-free legacy for future [law and society] students."

This is the end of free-speech as we know it. Seriously.

The overwhelming probability is that this college is controlled by libs.
What do we know about this place?

I don't think it should be fair to do this - this is their personal space.

I agree facebook is their personal space, why are lecturers looking on their sites in the first place?
