The University of British Columbia has pledged an investigation after its students reportedly sang a chant advocating rape during frosh week.
The incident took place on a bus ride during the Sauder FROSH, a three-day orientation for the Sauder School of Business, organized by the Commerce Undergraduate Society (CUS).
The chant condones non-consensual sex with underage girls saying, “Y-O-U-N-G at UBC, we like ’em young, Y is for your sister, O is for oh so tight, U is for underage, N is for no consent, G is for go to jail.” …
The revelations come only days after student leaders at Nova Scotia’s St. Mary’s University were caught on camera chanting about non-consensual underage sex during frosh week at the Halifax school.
Jared Perry, chair of Students Nova Scotia and president of the student council at St. Mary’s, stepped down from his position in light of the controversy.
St. Mary’s president Colin Dodds is forming a presidential council to investigate the incident and ways to prevent any other situations.
