Queen’s should be “for” vaccines
Dear editors,
As deeply concerned as I am that a professor has been allowed to teach misinformation regarding vaccines to students since 2011, I’m also quite disappointed to read Provost Alan Harrison’s comments on the issue in the Toronto Star article “Students...
Dear Editor,
The purpose of my writing this article is to explain that sexual assault is extremely prevalent, with one in four women and one in 10 men at risk of being sexually assaulted at least once in their lives. From the societal norms which we have instilled within our minds behind how the length...
RE: Damaging Decisions
Dear Editor,
I was disappointed with Miriam Bart’s column “Damaging Decisions”, published on October 9, 2014.
The author insinuates that the Prime Minister is supposedly an ineffectual global pariah on international relations. On the contrary, this Prime Minister has only initiated...

The invitation...
Track and field left in the dust
Hello,
I am a first-year Cross-Country and Track and Field athlete, and frequent reader of the Journal, but I am writing to you today with regards to my massive disappointment and frustration with the latest edition of the Queen’s Journal (March 14th).
It is...
Two egregious fallacies made their way into last Friday’s (Sept 21) edition of The Journal. As a devoted professor of logic, it would be remiss of me not to correct them.

Dear editors,
As a design and development specialist with some 33 years international experience followed by over 20 years as an adjunct associate professor in the Chemical Engineering Department, I am quite disappointed in the decision to curtail the Fine Arts program.
