A former Memorial University student who challenged the school and a professor who refused to wear a microphone seven years ago has won his case at Newfoundland and Labrador’s Human Rights Commission.

Memorial University failed in its duty to accommodate William Sears — a hard-of-hearing student who dropped a history class in 2015 when a professor told him she couldn’t wear a FM-transmitting microphone for religious reasons — according to an adjudicator appointed by the commission.
