November 20, 2025
An arbitrator has reinstated an instructor who was fired by a B.C. college after making comments that some interpreted as praising the Hamas-led attacks in Israel two years ago.
Natalie Knight, an English instructor at Vancouver’s Langara College, was dismissed in January, 2024, after being placed on paid leave in the wake of comments she made at a rally a few weeks after the attacks.
Arbitrator Randy Noonan wrote in a summary award issued Wednesday that Dr. Knight is to be reinstated to her position and should be made whole for the loss of compensation since January, 2024.
