SIXTIES STUDENTS McGill (4B): The Realist and the SDU Sit-In, part two
The 1967 External Affairs report sought major democratization of McGill and acceptance of the minority status of English Quebecers in the new Quebec. This helps explain the ferocity of the repression by faculty, liberal student executives and the administration of those associated with the report in The Realist affair and the SDU sit-in.
SIXTIES STUDENTS McGill (4A): The Realist and the SDU Sit-In, part one
The liberal Student Council of 1967-68 rejected the Wilson-Fekete proposals to seek a negotiated democratization of McGill. Fekete republished a political satire from The Realist. The administration and faculty responded by threatening three McGill Daily staffers with expulsion. When Stan Gray and the SDU lead a sit-in in support of the Daily, the administration, faculty and liberal Student Council executive seek criminal assault charges against Gray and add dozens of students to the list of those facing expulsion or suspension.
