A faculty-wide letter sent by Memorial University's dean of medicine reveals plans to use an outside investigator to look at complaints that "may be of sexual nature and may constitute sexual harassment." "These concerns have included allegations of bullying, intimidation, harassment and sexual harassment," she wrote. According to a spokesperson for the university, Steele was made aware of the complaints earlier this month and immediately contacted the school's sexual harassment advisor, Rhonda Shortall. Margaret Steele, dean of medicine at Memorial University, says an investigator will examine the school's culture around sexual harassment. "I am committed to a learning environment free of bullying, intimidation, harassment, sexual harassment and sexual assault," Steele wrote.
