Suddenly the same academia that teaches that “all intercourse is rape” is going wobbly on definitions — when these definitions might have expensive real life consequences for the institution…
Shoukri said the Toronto Life article makes several false connections. The article reported there were “at least 17 sexual offences, including assaults and harassment” on York’s campus in 2012. But the president said it was misleading to categorize all these incidents as rape, as the Criminal Code of Canada says the charge of sexual assault is a “broad, inclusive charge that covers the widest possible range of sexual offences, from any form of unwanted sexual contact to rape.”
