I respect Dr. Marrus for choosing to resign despite having done nothing morally or intellectually wrong. I respect his sincere attempts to apologize for a remark which, unintentionally, hurt the feelings of a black student.

I do not respect the student that lodged the formal complaint for his/her refusal to discuss the matter instead, and accept Dr. Marrus' apology. Neither do I respect Hugh Segal, the Master of Massey College for his craven and political handling of the situation. Epic fail on their part.
