The story itself is neither. What can be counted is who has covered it, and 74% of the 23 rated outlets on it are rated left — so far this is a story carried mostly by the left. Coverage is still arriving and that can change, which is why the figure is dated rather than fixed.

Is the coverage of University of Toronto Rejects Discrimination Report biased?

University of Toronto Rejects Discrimination Report is one event reported by 26 outlets, and this page does not rate the story as biased or unbiased. What it publishes is the spread: which outlets ran it, where named rating organisations place each of them on the spectrum, and what each side chose to lead with. A leaning rating describes an outlet's record over time, not this article, and the two should not be run together.
