The president of Dalhousie University knew about sexism complaints against the dentistry faculty in the summer, says the vice-president of the Dalhousie Student Union.

"We had received some direct complaints around sexual harassment and sexist comments and preferential treatment of male students, especially in clinical settings," she said Tuesday.

With the complainants' permission, the DSU approached university president Richard Florizone, who referred them to the campus Office of Human Rights, Equity and Harassment Prevention.

Nowoselski said they soon discovered the students could not go forward anonymously with the complaints.
