Calgary entrepreneur and former “Dragons’ Den” star Brett Wilson has offered a $100,000 donation to the University of Lethbridge contingent upon school officials issuing an apology to Frances Widdowson for her arrest and citation for trespassing on the campus last weekend.

Widdowson, a former Mount Royal University professor and free speech advocate, was arrested on April 25 after the school said she violated a legal order prohibiting her from going on campus grounds. She was escorted off the premises and issued a $600 ticket for trespassing after going to the school cafeteria to meet with a student.
