Former Mount Royal University professor and free speech advocate Frances Widdowson was arrested at the University of Lethbridge this weekend, marking the third time police have removed the academic from a university campus since last December.

The University of Lethbridge said in an emailed statement that Widdowson was arrested on April 25 for trespassing after violating a legal order prohibiting her from going on campus grounds.
