No sexual abuse counsellor positions for UBC

The University of British Columbia`s Commerce Undergraduate Society has decided not to hire a sexual abuse counsellor due to pro-rape chants which occured in September during frosh week.

According to CBC News a referendum took place which resulted in only 245 out of 815 students supporting the funding of the counsellor position.

The University was counting on the CUS to provide $200,000 in order to fund the counsellor position.

Dean of the Sauder School of Business, Robert Helsley was disappointed with the referendum results, and stated that the purpose of the position was to raise awareness of sexual violence issues.

While many have been discussing sexual violence issues on campus, police are still searching for a man who has been sexually abusing women among campus grounds.
