Canada: Quebec University stands up for due process against sexual allegation slander - but for how long?

Article here. Excerpt:

'After three professors had their office doors festooned with decals citing the university’s sexual harassment policy, the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) has launched an inquiry into the incident.

But the inquiry does not centre on any allegations of harassment against the professors, who UQAM officials said have had no complaints filed against them.

The inquiry focuses on allegations of defamation against possible students who placed the stickers on their office doors.

“It’s a form of slander, a form of harassment. People are declared guilty by association with a sticker,” said Marc Turgeon, the vice-principal of student life at UQAM. "We can't accept such actions"

The incident occurred earlier in the week when activists who apparently are part of a Facebook group called “Les Hysteriques” pasted the stickers on the doors of three professors at the university.'
