York University sues Toronto Life over sex-assault article

York University is pursuing libel action against Toronto Life after the magazine ran an article in its October issue characterizing York’s campus as “a hunting ground for sexual predators,” the Toronto Star reports
York served a libel notice — the first step in launching a libel lawsuit — to the publisher of the magazine and the author of the article, award-winning journalist Katherine Laidlaw late last month.
The unusual action has defamation law experts questioning whether as public institutions, universities are allowed, or should be allowed to sue for libel.
