Former Globe and Mail columnist Margaret Wente has resigned from a senior fellow position with Toronto's Massey College following controversy over her appointment. The letter was submitted after Massey College Principal Nathalie Des Rosiers announced last Thursday the school would review Wente's writings and conduct "in response to new information" related to her appointment. Wente was one of 46 people in various fields named a senior fellow and member of the college's Quadrangle Society. Massey College is a graduate residential college affiliated with the University of Toronto but is independent from it. When Des Rosiers announced the 2020-2021 incoming senior members to Massey College on the school's website, she said they "will contribute to the intellectual life of the College."
