Richard Francis Devlin FRSC (born November 25,1960) is a Canadian law professor at Dalhousie University. In the late 1990s Devlin,alongside fellow professor Wayne MacKay,was accused by fellow Professor Carol Aylward of being one of the parties that denied her a tenured appointment out of his racial prejudice. Aylward sued both of the professors,as well as others,for denying her the appointment on racial grounds. [1] He was thus named in the lawsuit Cowan et al. v. Aylward et al as a party to oppressing Aylward's academic trajectory,which reached the Nova Scotia Supreme Court. [2] Devlin and Carol Aylward,the woman who accused him of racist treatment,were former coauthors on academic publications. [3] [4]
In 2020,Devlin was appointed the Acting Dean of the Schulich School of Law to replace Camille Cameron while she was on medical leave for a year. [5] Prior to this,Devlin was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 2015. [6]
