U.Toronto mag. ignores pre-and postnominals with exception of "Prof."

For a mag. representing the U.Tor. it was laughable to read the piece by Claire Morris & Michael Kennedy about the $10-mill. donation by "Michael & Amira Dan".for an "Institute for Indigenous Health ". The scribes omitted all the pre & post- nominals of Neurosurgeon & Private equity investor Dr. Michael Dan MD(Tor.) PhD (McGill) MBA (Tulane) FRCS(Can.) DABNS (USA)

It has been the magazine’s policy for many years to omit all titles other than “Prof.” to indicate someone associated with the university. Thank you for writing,

Acting Deputy Editor, U of T Magazine

Dear Ms ROWE,
Prenominal "Prof" fine, what about "DR"?
Also what about earned academic postnominals?

we also do not include these elements in the magazine. Sincerely,

 Janet Rowe
Acting Deputy Editor, U of T Magazine
