The Peter A. Allard School of Law at UBC is embroiled in controversy following an investigation that revealed allegations of discrimination and harassment, particularly regarding gender pay disparities. Brenna Bhandar's application for a faculty position was rejected amidst claims that her scholarship was seen as antisemitic by peers. A letter from twelve faculty members seeking clarity on this decision led to accusations of bullying and shunning, stirring considerable unrest among students and staff. Despite these serious allegations, administration has reportedly chosen to ignore the issues raised, further complicating the faculty's working environment.
"In an investigation for The Walrus in November, I reported on the fallout from the letter, as well as on other allegations of systematic discrimination and harassment at Allard, including allegations from female professors that they were being paid less than their male colleagues."
"The administration has doubled down on its refusal to reckon with its workplace culture, instead of using the opportunity to address long-standing issues."
