The president of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario, has banned Wi-Fi on campus, citing potential health risks.
According to an article in ITbusiness.ca, President Fred Gilbert is concerned about exposing young people to electromagnetic fields.
“These are particularly relevant in younger people (who have) fast-growing tissues, and most of our student body are late teenagers and still growing, so it’s just a matter of taking precautions and providing an environment that doesn’t have a potential-associated risk,” he said.
No word on whether he’s banned sex, smoking, drinking, driving, etc.
Lakehead University? How did I miss this! I once applied to join a dating group at Lakehead, only to be turned down because I’m not, technically, a Lakehead student.
This is is what I will write about tonight.
Thank you. Oh, thank you so much, NewMexiKen.
