Respected Hemalatha Ganapathy-Coleman

This was our letter to her!

Its a interesting arrangement of battle. UT is rightfully concerned about democratic values in distant India, yet closes doors to many in Canadian Diaspora. It extends a welcome only to select local partners. I am confused at what democracy means at UT. Would you think this act of defending democracy while practicing the opposite of democracy within the campus of UT does justice to the Value of Democracy?

You have eminent personalities and community partner. Yet they all share one theory of argument. Democracy is the strength to handle voice of dissent. If your event is filled with all people with the same line of thought, would you still describe that as democracy?

Sincerely
