Unfair, ungrateful and shameless dismissal of John Mossop
To all concerned,
Mr John Mossop has been a McGill Mining Engineering icon for many generations of successful graduates, and rightfully so. As many of us are spread out all over the world, and we don't have the means to physically sign the petition circulating denouncing the unfair, ungrateful an shameless treatment Mr Mossop is receiving, we have chosen this online tool to make our voices heard. Without repeating the facts and arguments in the hardcopy petition being submitted to Dean Kirk (through the CMEUS mining rep), in addition to being a precious lecturer, Mr Mossop has been an experience-transmitter, an advisor, a friend to us; furthermore, he has always been there to help a department that always struggled to stay alive.

Dear Mr. Kirk,
While I have lost touch with John over the years and don't know the specifics of his dismissal, I do count him as one of the best teachers I have ever had. John was unfailingly generous with his time and knowledge, always putting his students first. Further, the sense of community, spirit and fun he brought to the dept have left memories that live on long past the differential equations and Laplace transforms.
I trust you will do your best to ensure John is treated with the dignity and respect he rightly deserves. Anything less would be a betrayal to his many supporters and to the principles we expect McGill to live up to.
Regards, Luc Auer

This is absolutely appalling! This is no way to treat someone who has devoted so much to the mining department at McGill. Obviously dedication and experience don't mean s*it to Dean Kirk.

John Mossop's mentorship was instrumental to my success completing the undergraduate mining program at McGill in 2005. His passionate, practical and informed approach to education is exemplary, always ensuring an important link to industrial practice. John's unique contributions to McGill University deserve to be celebrated. I am deeply concerned to learn of his ungrateful dismissal.

I have met many of John Mossop's students over the years, and their gratitude and affection towards him are inspiring. McGill University should be proud of how well his dedication and career have reflected on the University and its standing in the mining community, and also more generally.

John made my years at McGill a great place to learn and grow as mining professional! Please don't let his time at McGill end like these!
