B.C. has introduced a bill that will require all public postsecondary institutions to develop a sexual-misconduct policy amidst growing concern about the safety of young women on campus, the Globe & Mail reported Wednesday.
A statement from UBC’s interim president Martha Piper said the legislation will “underpin work already under way at UBC to create a specific sexual-assault policy in collaboration with students, faculty and other members of our community to ensure we are supporting survivors of sexual assault.”
