History
The dispute which developed in the Department of Political Science, Sociology and Anthropology at Simon Fraser University began in 1969 when a trustee was appointed to administer the department. A strike of some faculty and students ensued and the resulting turmoil over controversial promotion and tenure decisions resulted in censure from the Canadian Association of University Teachers and the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association. During this time Nathan S. Popkin was fired.
