Abstract

In the past decade, Canadian courts have rendered 2 prominent legal decisions related to freedom of religion in the university context: Trinity Western University v. British Columbia College of Teachers (2001) and Maughan v. University of British Columbia (2009). In the first case, freedom of religion and equality collide. In the second, claims of religious discrimination run up against academic freedom. In this article, the author offers a critical analysis of the 2 cases in order to explore the contours of freedom of religion in a tertiary context and to better understand how the courts resolve the competing claims in this setting.
