Classes are ending. College and University students are putting away the books. It's been a difficult year as students, faculty and administration of several university campuses have had to deal with issues related to sexual violence on campus. St. Mary's University and Dalhousie University are this past school year's examples, but we've seen other incidents at other campuses too in the past few years.
Add that to this winter's arrest of Jian Ghomeshi, CBC's former host of Q on sexually related violence, and we're hearing a heightened level of discussion about the issue to an extent that we've never heard before. And while hearing about these incidents is horrifying and disturbing, the fact that we're now talking about these issues is a good thing.
