University of British Columbia Okanagan ordered to pay sexual assault victim $50,000 as compensation, nearly $7,000 in lost wages and about $8,000 in expenses
University of British Columbia Okanagan has been ordered to pay a former student $50,000 for discriminating against her based on her sex and disability in the way it handled her allegation of sexual assault by another student.
The tribunal says that though the university had a high-level understanding of sexual violence and a commitment to support survivors, its response didn’t result in a reasonable investigation process or restore a “discrimination-free learning environment.” The university has also been ordered to pay Hale $50,000 as compensation, nearly $7,000 in lost wages and about $8,000 in expenses.
UBC’s then-president Santa Ono dismissed Hale’s complaint against the other student in 2017, citing a lack of evidence.
