The Toronto Star reports: Freshman hit with 147 academic charges for online study network at Ryerson University. “Ryerson student Chris Avenir is facing expulsion for taking part in a Facebook study group for one of his engineering courses.” I don’t think it appropriate for me to comment on this because I don’t know the facts, and it seems that some comments in the article do not match what I know about university policies, so there may be some confusion or spin going on. It is an unfortunate situation for all involved, but I hope that this clarifies what is and is not appropriate to do online. Perhaps nothing was done wrong, and I hope they find out soon one way or another.
