UNB Human Rights Case

 Here is a link to a CBC story about the University of New Brunswicks women's hockey team

"Players with the team filed a human rights complaint against the university after the team was downgraded to a club from a program with varsity status in 2008.

That decision cost the women's team their ability to play in the Atlantic University Sport conference or the Canadian Interuniversity Sports national championships and most of their funding.
The University of New Brunswick, however, opted to keep its men's hockey team.
The women's hockey team argued the decision was discriminatory on the basis of gender."
