The Globe and Mail reported that a Hollywood producer is rethinking a donation to UBC after the school fired creative writing professor Steven Galloway after an investigation into “serious allegations” against him from former students and others.
The university did not say whether anyone else had withdrawn support as a result of the Galloway case, according to the article. Philip Steenkamp, UBC’s vice-president of external relations, said that the creative writing program “continues to attract donors, visiting lecturers and top-notch faculty.”
