A student athletics coordinator at Sheridan College publicized the Toronto-area school’s anti-racism training, parts of which he “found objectionable,” according to a recently published labour arbitrator’s report.

The arbitrator, Gail Misra, found that Tom Hipsz had breached the trust of his employer, had breached his “duty of loyalty.” She upheld the college’s 2021 decision to dismiss him. Her decision was issued Dec. 13 and first reported upon by the National Post on Jan. 4.
