Western University has zero tolerance for sexual harassment.
The Faculty of Information and Media Studies has not proactively sought opportunities for student internships to CBC’s Q for the past five years. This position is of a direct result of a student returning from an internship at Q in 2009, and reporting he had been assigned everyday errands not related to journalism.
Western interns are expected to be given opportunities during placements that complement their journalism education.
The faculty has not placed any student at Q in the past five years. At no time has any Western student reported back from an internship at Q that inappropriate behaviour had occurred.
Editor’s note: This version corrects internship date to 2009. The internship was arranged for in 2008, but did not actually take place until 2009.
