The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Nov. 28, edition that a York University sociology professor, Steven Tufts, who studies protests and two other employees of the school have been placed on leave from their jobs after they were charged in connection with hate-motivated mischief over the defacing of a Toronto Indigo Books & Music bookstore. The Globe's Sean Fine and Mike Hager write that Lesley J. Wood told The Globe on Monday that she was suspended from her associate professor job. Police announced charges against her and 10 others last week for allegedly tossing red paint on the downtown store and pasting posters accusing its Jewish founder, Heather Reisman, of supporting genocide. University spokesman Yanni Dagonas said that York had "placed the community members named in November 23 Toronto Police media advisory on leave." Prof. Tufts has organized an hour-long walkout from class on Tuesday afternoon in protest of the suspensions. He said Dr. Wood and two others had been placed on administrative leave last Thursday -- the same day the police announced the charges after arresting most of the accused early Wednesday morning. Police charged the group with hate-motivated mischief.
