On May 13, the University of Calgary plans to open their new School of Public Policy with an opening gala at which the guest of honour is Condoleezza Rice. Rice has emerged as a central figure in the developing US torture and war crimes scandal. "This is your baby. Go do it," Rice is reported to have said authorizing waterboarding by CIA.

Regrettably there has been little protest from the academic community in Canada, or the national student organizations who have been aware of Rice’s invitation since early March. The Director of the School of Public Policy, Jack Mintz told the Calgary Herald on March 11, that: "She’s a good example of what a school of public policy can achieve."

Please assist those at the University of Calgary who oppose this outrageous sanctioning of torture and war crimes by the school. Write to both Director Mintz and University President Harvey P Weingarten, asking that they cancel Rice’s visit:
