"Your defamatory remarks about professor St. Lewis were occasioned by work which she undertook at the request of the university and in the course of her duties and responsibilities as an employee."
He added that U of O officials have a "moral obligation" to support St. Lewis. It smacks more of collusion. Rancourt said funding her violates his rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
