Response to reports of legal action against UWinnipeg

Posted on: 02/03/14 | Author: Communications | Categories: All Posts

Reports have been published in the media today indicating that The University of Winnipeg, along with the publisher of The Uniter student newspaper, Mouseland Press, and a reporter, is being sued by Mayor Sam Katz.

The inclusion of the University of Winnipeg is erroneous as the University exercises no control whatsoever over The Uniter’s actions, editorial content, reporters or editorial board. The University has neither administrative control over Mouseland Press nor representation on its Board of Directors. Mouseland Press Inc. is a private and independent company established in 2006 and is separate from the University.
