“I think part of the problem… is that the university was really looking at sexual assault from a university perspective or a high-level academic perspective… And they lost sight of the human element and in particular the unique humanity that Miss Hale had as a survivor of sexual assault. They forgot that the should take steps to make it less traumatizing for her in her particular circumstances.”
“This case has huge implications for all universities across Canada but definitely in British Columbia in how they investigate and handle sexual assault complaints but also in how they investigate and handle all academic and non-academic complaints..”
