Dalhousie University probes misogynistic student 'Gentlemen's Club' [View all]

Dalhousie University in Halifax has launched an investigation into disturbing, sexually explicit Facebook posts attributed to male students in the faculty of dentistry, CBC News has learned.

The men were part of a Facebook group called the Class of DDS 2015 Gentlemen. The group was removed from Facebook late last week.

CBC News has obtained screenshots of the group's posts, which are sexually explicit and appear to involve discussions of female classmates.

At least three of the men have removed their Facebook profiles in the past 24 hours.
