Guests: Brendan Kennedy and Morgan Bocknek, investigative reporters, and Leah Mosier-Farquharson, TMU student

A string of sexual assaults and security incidents on the Toronto Metropolitan University campus have left many students and faculty members worrying for their safety and deeply critical of the school’s response. After two women were assaulted at Kerr Hall last year, some students were so frustrated by a lack of information from the administration that they formed their own security network on social media. We talk to Star investigative reporters Morgan Bocknek and Brendan Kennedy about what happened and TMU student Leah Mosier-Farquharson about the impacts on campus.

A Toronto Metropolitan University official said the campus is safe and TMU has increased security in the building where two people were attacked.

This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Paulo Marques and Saba Eitizaz.
