Social & Environmental Justice Student Resource Centre

The NSPIRG (Nova Scotia Public Interest Research Group) provides support and resources to community members and students at Dalhousie University, King’s College, and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (NSCAD) who are working to engage and inspire action around social and environmental issues.

NSPIRG is appalled by the recent events at St FX regarding signs that were displayed at a football game and outside an off-campus housing complex. These misogynistic signs could be considered violent and abhorrent examples of rape culture that cannot go unpunished by the institution of St. FX and its student union. Any students complacent in these actions need to be held truly accountable for the complex implications they have had across many communities. In the wake of the Cornell University scandal, the World Junior Hockey scandal, and the Dalhousie Dentistry scandal, we cannot continue to allow misogyny to traumatize women without serious and meaningful repercussions, all because of fear of "ruining their futures".
