text: I agree. I cannot understand why the province directed UBC to form policy over an issue that it has no legitimate jurisdiction. Sexual assault, indeed all assault, is a criminal matter in which the person assaulted is obligated to report the alleged crime to the police for criminal investigation and, if the allegation is found to be substantive, to press charges against the alleged assailant. There is no part of this process in which the university has any role to play. Sexual assault is not unique to UBC and there is no reason whatsoever for the institution to be treated any differently than society in general.
