( Lars Hagberg / THE CANADIAN PRESS file photo )OTTAWA—The Canadian Forces came under fire Wednesday for leaving academics and other non-military personnel off the team investigating the Royal Military College of Canada, which has been rocked by a series of troubling events in recent months. But in the end, said Vice-Admiral Mark Norman, the team of eight current and former service members was convened specifically to address the college’s unique status as not just a school, but also a military unit. “At the end of the day, this is the leadership of the armed forces looking at the unit environment of a unit of the armed forces,” Norman said in an interview. “And that’s our business.” The review, announced Wednesday, was ordered by defence chief Gen. Jonathan Vance following several suspected suicides and concerns about a sexualized culture at the prestigious school in Kingston, Ont.
