The so called western scholars who believe in methodological atheism and rational empirical research have again backed out and have started hiding their PhD thesis. It has already been done at Columbia University in 1993. Another McLeodian disciple, Dr. Lou Fennech, did his Ph.d (playing the game of love, Sikh tradition of Martyrdom) in December of 1994 from the University of Toronto. His thesis has been locked. The Sikh community communicated with the President of the university to make his dissertation available for review, but has been notified that his thesis has been restricted until January 31, 1997. The letter is as follows:
Dr. S. Sodhi
School of Education Dalhousie Univ.
Halifax, NS
Dear Dr. Sodhi:
In reply to your letter received by the President on 21 February 1995, let me assure you that research done at the university of Toronto must meet the standard of peer review, The University is also committed to its Policy on the Ethical Conduct of Research which includes freedom of enquiry.
It is the University’s intention to make public its research findings, including doctoral dissertations. In accordance with its announced policy in the Calendar of the School of Graduate Studies, however, the School of Graduate Studies may permit an author to postpone publication for a restricted period of time. Fenech’s thesis has been restricted until 31 January 1997, at which time it will be available through the normal channels. The abstract of the thesis is, again in accordance with standard policy, a matter of public record in the School of Graduate Studies.
To my knowledge, no researcher at the University of Toronto is aware of the conference you allude to. It is not the University’s practice to send speakers to conferences uninvited, although its faculty members are free to respond to invitations as they deem appropriate.
Sincerely yours,
Paul W. Gooch
Vice-Provost, Univ. of Toronto Canada.
