New job offer to Azarova creates opening to resolve academic-freedom controversy triggered by donors’ pressure to overrule a unanimous 2020 hiring-committee decision

The Canadian Association of University Teachers said it was calling on its allies to suspend actions related to the censure, but it would not completely end the measure until a November vote of its council.An academic boycott of the University of Toronto has been temporarily lifted by the Canadian Association of University Teachers.

The CAUT said it was calling on its allies to suspend actions related to the censure, but it would not completely end the measure until a November vote of its council. It also said the university needs to address a number of related issues, including explicit academic freedom protection for employees in administrative jobs and taking steps to prohibit donor interference.

The controversy began in the fall of 2020. Dr. Azarova, who was living in Germany at the time, was the unanimous choice of a University of Toronto hiring committee. She believed she had accepted their job offer and that only minor details remained to be settled. The CAUT told the university that a renewed job offer to Dr. Azarova was its principal condition for lifting the censure.
