In support of Gabor Lukacs

["Gavin Seal" <gavin_seal@fastmail.fm>]

Dear colleagues and friends,

A number of members of the categories e-list will already be aware that
Gabor Lukacs and the mathematics department at the University of
Manitoba are involved in a dispute with the university administration
over matters of academic standards and even academic freedom. Since
Gabor is an active member of our community, we thought you might be
interested in a petition we are planning to send to the university early
in December. The text of the petition may be read at
