UBC says acclaimed writer Steven Galloway removed over breach of trust
VANCOUVER — A woman who complained to the University of British Columbia about the chair of its writing program says she’s glad the acclaimed writer is no longer employed by the school.
The university issued a statement Wednesday saying Steven Galloway no longer works there over what it calls an “irreparable breach of trust.”
“I’m so relieved that UBC did the right thing,” said the woman, who asked that her name not be used out of concern for the impact it may have on her career.
She declined to discuss what led her to complain, but said she has been living with extreme stress and anxiety as the investigation progressed.
