University Bans Wireless Internet Access; Fears It May Be Dangerous
Mar 2nd, 2006
Lakehead University has prohibited wireless Internet access on campus because the university president fears that "electromagnetic forces could pose a risk to students' health."
There's one you don't hear every day.
University president Fred Gilbert insists the policy will not change, and points out that researchers are unsure what effect electromagnetic forces may have on the human body.
Many health professionals and students do not agree, and the university has suffered a barrage of complaints and insults regarding the decision.
What do you think? Is this a case of an individual simply trying to protect students, or is it an example of ignorance that needs to be educated?
