Stolen underwear found in University of Calgary residence
A security alert was issued to students living in University of Calgary’s residence due to student reporting finding misplaced underwear in their own rooms and others.
Some of the underwear they found went missing from their rooms, but they also found dozens of pairs of bras and panties that didn’t belong to them. One girl found 75 pairs of used panties in her room. Most weren’t hers, reported The Gauntlet.
Although there was no evidence of forced entry into the dorms, and campus security is unsure of what exactly happened, new locks have been installed to prevent any further intrusions or thefts.

Ryerson club excludes white students from forum on racialization
Two first-year journalism students, Trevor Hewitt and Julia Knope, were asked to leave a forum hosted by Ryerson’s Racialized Students’ Collective because, being white, it was argued they were not victims of racialization.
The students planned to report on the event for a journalism assignment. A Ryerson Student Union coordinator confirmed that “members of the collective have requested a safe space on campus where they can have an open conversation.”
“If their goal in these meetings was to end racialization then it needs to be something everybody is involved in,” said Knope.

Dalhousie Student Union leaves allegedly discriminatory provincial advocacy group
Dalhousie Student Union (DSU) council voted to leave and disassociate themselves from the provincial student advocacy group, Students Nova Scotia (SNS) due to “concrete evidence of systemic sexism, discrimination and unprofessional behaviour.”
Prior to the vote, DSU president alleged “the organization has a culture of racism, and that racist comments were frequently made and then ‘laughed off’ by members of SNS.”
Although in attendance, the SNS executive director was not permitted to deliver a speech he had prepared to council, and claimed that the DSU has not been a safe space for SNS supporters.
