University of Saskatchewan president Peter MacKinnon owes an apology to the university community.

As a private citizen, he can endorse any political candidate, but as president and CEO of the university, he is speaking publicly on behalf of all the members of the university community.

With an election on the offing, he made a serious error of judgment in publicly endorsing Rob Norris. As a former professor and dean of the college of law, MacKinnon ought to know better.

I live in the constituency of Saskatoon Greystone and I feel offended. As a professor at the U of S for the past 41 years, I urge the president of the university to publicly acknowledge that he made a mistake.
