In November of last year, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) appointed retired Chief Justice MacDonald as an External Reviewer to determine whether the students who participated in an October 20, 2023 letter to the Deans of Lincoln Alexander School of Law (LASL) contravened the university’s Code of Conduct.

The letter appointing Mr. MacDonald was framed as a complaint by TMU against the participating students. It designated Mr. MacDonald as the decision-maker.

On Friday, former Nova Scotia Chief Justice J. Michael MacDonald issued a 169-page report on his conclusions.

After months of investigation, dozens of interviews with the letter’s signatories, and consultations with other stakeholders (including pro-Israel groups), Mr. MacDonald concluded that the letter was not anti-Semitic. He also found that the signatories did not violate the university’s Code of Conduct.

Accordingly, he recommended no sanctions against them.
