​Brock University tells student to keep quiet about sexual harassment finding - Canada - CBC News

Brock University has issued a response to the CBC report:

My comment: Respecting students and maintaining proper trustful student-teacher relations is the central responsibility of university professors. After all, it is an asymmetrical power relationship. So it is incumbent on the professors not to abuse this power.

And the burgeoning growth of Brock's bureaucracy of non-scholar administrators, aside from leeching scarce resources away from the teaching and research function of the University, does not seem to have served the student victim well in this case.

The whole thing just fills me with a deep sense of despair.
