Student implicated in Facebook scandal will take part in hearing: lawyer

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 26 Jan, 2015 10:34 AM

    HALIFAX — The lawyer for a dentistry student at Dalhousie University says his client has agreed to return to a disciplinary hearing investigating his role in a Facebook page that contained sexually violent content.

    Bruce MacIntosh says student Ryan Millet is willing to continue with the hearing before the school's academic standards committee on Wednesday even though MacIntosh complained last week that the process was flawed.

    MacIntosh says Millet helped expose the Facebook page but was nonetheless stripped of clinical privileges.

    He is one of 13 male students accused of being part of a private Facebook group where sexist and misogynistic comments about female classmates were posted.

    His disciplinary hearing started last Tuesday but was adjourned after MacIntosh complained about lack of due process.

    In a letter to Dalhousie University's senate, MacIntosh says he is hoping the committee will reinstate Millet's clinical privileges and allow him to return to his fourth-year classes.

    However, MacIntosh says if the committee decides to impose disciplinary measures and maintain the suspension, then he will ask the senate to "explore other options."
