HALIFAX – A dentistry student at Dalhousie University says he feels like his story was heard after he appeared at a disciplinary hearing over his involvement in a Facebook group where misogynistic comments were posted.
Ryan Millet, who says he helped expose the group’s existence, says he was able to share his perspective on the story with the committee but he declined further comment as he stood beside his wife and lawyer after the meeting concluded Wednesday.
Bruce MacIntosh, Millet’s lawyer, says legal briefs will be filed and he hopes the academic standards committee makes its decision next week.
MacIntosh has said Millet should have his clinical privileges reinstated and his academic record restored because of his role in bringing the Facebook group to light.
The university stripped Millet and 12 other male fourth-year students of clinical duties and put them in separate classes after some of the postings became public in December.
The postings included hateful references to female classmates and sexually violent content.
