The grounds of the motion for the proposed class proceeding allege, “[t]he University of Ottawa received at least two complaints in or about 1995 by former patients of Nadon, regarding his inappropriate conduct of a sexual nature. The University of Ottawa failed to take appropriate steps to prevent the improper conduct from occurring again, including requiring the dismissal of Nadon from the UOHS.”
In the coverage of this type of crime, it’s always “a woman was drugged,” and never “someone drugged a woman.” It’s a subtle turn of phrase but it completely shifts the placement of agency in the sentence — it becomes passive, the subject is that it happened, not how. A crime without a criminal.
To lose the campus walk-in, is to lose the one place on campus where students in crisis could go for immediate support — no online forms, phone intakes, or months of waiting.
Many women are not aware of just how prevalent — and deadly — cardiovascular diseases are. According to Dr. Coutinho, heart disease and cardiovascular disease kill five times more women than breast cancer and twice as many women as all cancers combined globally each year.
The particular demands of the practical arts complicate the already-complex process of reinstating in-person learning at the U of O

The University of Ottawa’s senatorial election will take place from June 2 to June 4 via online ballots. Here’s a look at the races for the different faculties of the University of Ottawa.
In a year riddled with crises, the attention of university administrations is understandably divided. But as the global COVID-19 pandemic has wracked the student population with isolation and grief, it’s now more important than ever that the university’s efforts to address the mental health crisis are not lost.
Second-year student Camelia Skaf says that she’s been handcuffed twice on campus since February after Ottawa police were called by Protection Services. Skaf says that her experiences highlight a lack of mental health training in the university’s Protection Services.
Five students with mental health issues point to gaps in the school’s mental health system, including staggeringly long wait times, poor training of professors, and a lack of specialized counsellors.
Students are calling on the University of Ottawa to remove an anti-psychiatry exhibit on campus that was set up just days after the university finished celebrating their annual wellness week.
Women’s rights, sexual abuse, LGBTQ+ visibility, racism, chronic illness: the Fulcrum has not strayed away from contentious issues this decade. Read here the best that the decade has had to offer.
Last weekend, five Fulcrum editors took part in a collaboration with the Gee-Gees cheerleading team. We were invited to a cheerleading practice where coach Nailah Taylor and her team taught us basic cheerleading maneuvers.

The complex dynamics of the Canada-U.S. bilateral relationship In 1969, former prime minister Pierre Trudeau described the relationship between Canada and the United States in a memorable analogy. “Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it …
“In the early nineties, we worried about kids passing notes, that was a distraction in class. We were taught how you intercept notes and the protocol on note-passing. We’ve just way surpassed that,” one local high school teacher says.
