Philip Steenkamp, UBC’s vice-president of external relations, indicated a principal complainant and then others came forward, but would not disclose the nature of the allegations, which were identified as “serious” when Mr. Galloway was suspended last November as associate professor and chair of the creative writing program.

Those complainants – including former students – allege Mr. Galloway fostered a sexualized atmosphere, drank regularly with students and played favourites – bringing some students into his inner circle while casting others out. (more...)
Why can't they just come out and say it?
