This story contained a comment from an anonymous source that claimed that Widdowson was “let go…not because of her public comments about Indigenous issues or inequities among racialized groups, which are projected by academic freedom” but “due to her personal behaviour toward proponents of Indigenization and supporters of addressing BIPOC inequities at MRU.”
This use of an anonymous source led Frances Widdowson to criticize the journalist who had written the story, Hannah Kost, in a discussion with her.
