Student hazing incident generates strong backlash
Ryerson University engineering students were found last week to be engaging in hazing rituals. Students who wanted to be orientation leaders for the following year were filmed in their underwear crawling through ice and slush. The incident has been highly condemned by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Ryerson President Sheldon Levy.
The university has since decided that no action will be taken after discussions were held with the Ryerson Engineering Students Society.
