By Brett Bundale THE CANADIAN PRESS Canada’s largest French-language university outside of Quebec has launched a process to review the school’s connection to a British military figure involved in the deportation of Acadians.   The Universite de Moncton’s board of governors said on Saturday it will appoint two officials to consider a community request for a name change.   The review will examine the political, social, historical, reputational, legal and economic aspects of changing the school’s name, the board said.   More than 1,000 people signed a petition earlier this year to sever the schools ties to Robert Monckton, a British officer who played an active role in the imprisonment and expulsion of Acadians.   “Our university is listening to its communities,” the school’s president and vice-chancellor Denis Prud’homme said
