Dalhousie students react to DDS 2015 “Gentlemen” being allowed to return to clinical practice

In the scandal that erupted a national discussion around misogyny and sexual violence earlier this year, some people think the men involved in the private Dalhousie dentistry Facebook group still have some learning to do.

First-year nursing student, Jamie Wood, is one of them.

“They paid their money to go here, but at the same time, they should have more of a penalty than being able to graduate, if that make sense,” she said.

In a statement released yesterday evening, university president Richard Florizone said some of the students will not graduate due to missed class time and no one will graduate without the approval of the university’s academic standards committee.

Second-year PhD student Martin Ezeani said he thinks the two-month clinical suspension was enough.

“The [university] management is, of course, doing the best it can to accurately make sure everything is resolved the way it should be,” he said. “After serving the penalty, I think anything beyond that is actually not wanted. You could destroy somebody’s future in the [effort] to make sure something is corrected.”

Twenty-nine people are participating in the school’s restorative justice process, including 14 women, 12 members of the Facebook group, and three other men.
