I'm so happy this is the ruling.

My ex is a Trinity grad (and now a lawyer), and the stories she would tell me about that campus were blood boiling.

Their covenant bond is horrendous, discriminatory and dehumanizing. There's a reason the student population is primarily white, evangelical Americans. The politics and culture of a campus which encourages discrimination is no place for a law school.

The SCC got this right, and sets a strong precedent.

Now from what I remember about this conversation, this will allow for similar challenges in the rest of the provinces and we'll see accreditation denied in the remaining 8 provinces.
