A group of students from the University of Windsor is filing an application with the Ontario Human Rights Commission this week alleging that racism influenced the city police force's handling of a campus party.Now, I know we have a few lawyers and law students here on the BT aggregator... so maybe someone can tell me... do you get some sort of extra credit for drumming up your own investigations?
