Recommendations in the report include issuing a public apology, continuing to seek information about other potential victims and making amends to the individuals harmed
The University of King’s College in Halifax has released its independent report on the accusations of sexual assault against one of its former professors.
Halifax police had laid three sexual assault charges against Wayne Hankey for incidents alleged to have taken place on campus in the 1970s and 1980s while he was a professor at King’s. The report released today says there is evidence that the university was aware of Hankey’s behaviour and protected him.
According to King’s, Hankey was disciplined in 1991 following an internal inquiry by a university committee but he returned to teaching at the school following a one-year suspension. Recommendations in the report conducted by a Toronto-based law firm include issuing a public apology, continuing to seek information about other potential victims and making amends to the individuals harmed by Hankey – which could include financial compensation.This story was produced with the financial assistance of the Meta and Canadian Press News Fellowship.
