Mount Allison students and staff were warned about incidents of street harassment in an email sent by Kim Meade, vice president international and student affairs on Friday, October 9, at 4:14PM.
The letter says, “Incidents of street harassment have been reported in the Sackville community. Police are investigating a report of students being harassed by a group of young men. Mount Allison staff have been in contact with the RCMP, the Town, and campus security.”
Anyone experiencing threats, fear, and/or harassment should call 911 immediately.
In the email, Meade reminds students and staff that Mount Allison has a Sexual Harassment and Assault Response and Education Service (SHARE), which can be reached by text/phone (506-540-7427) or email at share@mta.ca.
