Sexual assault policiesThe debate about the way schools handle sexual assault complaints heated up after several high-profile incidents on campuses made headlines. It requires that every college and university have a standalone sexual assault policy detailing how the school will deal with complaints and how it will investigate. Sami Pritchard, the national executive representative of the Canadian Federation of Students, says there isn't enough oversight when it comes to universities' sexual assault policies. Alastair Summerlee, Carleton University's incoming president, defends the school's sexual assault policy. Advanced Education and Skills Development Minister Deb Matthews says it's important that universities develop their own sexual assault policies because 'that's where the students are.'
