Dawson College theatre teacher is gone
The story about Dawson College theatre teacher Winston Sutton and his alleged bad behaviour around women has been all over regular and social media, but the school says he’s no longer working there. A young woman writes on Medium about the toxic atmosphere in the CEGEP’s drama department.

As for the “no longer working there,” this post clarifies it (Facebook post but should be visible to everyone)

Ugh brutal. It is hard to get rid of teachers once they get permanence. Like, basically unless they commit an actual crime. At my CEGEP we got a notice last September that it is now officially illegal for teaching staff to have sexual relations with any registered student.

addendum: and by illegal I mean against formal school policy – although I am fairly sure committing the kinds of crimes the police would get called in for would be grounds for dismissal too in most cases.
