Braley Centre
Just a heads up (as told to the last user who attempted to add that), Wikipedia is not subject to "free speech clauses" (i.e. Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution), as Wikipedia is not an arm of any government (Wikimedia is a independent non-profit charity, and like any independent private entity, its projects are governed by their own policies and guidelines, in addition to the local Wiki's manual of style, and not from a public free speech clause). There is no legal right that permits you, or I, to edit Wikipedia. So I'd avoid the whole "your suppressing my free speech," argument in its entirety on Wikipedia.

As for the content you added, the reason why I removed it on McMaster University is because its clearly an issue with the encyclopedia's policy of undue weight and balance towards that incident (refer to WP:UNDUE, specifically its subsection WP:BALASP). Specifically, the part of the section that states "discussion of isolated events, criticisms, or news reports about a subject may be verifiable and impartial, but still disproportionate to their overall significance to the article topic," seems to be something that directly relates to instances such as the content you added (an isolated event [i.e. an unsuccessful litigation] that is disproportionate to the overall significance of the topic).

Its actually for that same reason I largely left your addition (though did a bit of copyediting on it) on David Braley Athletic Centre intact, as its something I can see arguments of proportionality on, as the topic being the facility and the case revolving around it (I mean, its honestly a pretty weak argument of it being proportional, but I sorta conceded on that as a concession). In saying that though, if you honestly believe that the content you added was indeed an isolated incident whose presentation is somehow proportional to the overall topic, I'd advise you to either bring up your case to the article's talk page, or to WP:UNI, which is the Wikiproject that coordinates all university-related articles, before we end up in an edit war.
