It judgment

by Wetulv Cutlibert

^W^^oQ^^hexuai offences reported to security will be pubyCTzeo^Xccording to Humber President Robert Gordon.

"In re-thinking it, I'm quite prepared to admit that it probably would be

better to make an announcement, 'There was an assault at such-and-such

and we urge you (to be more cautious)'," Gordon said, referring to his

decision last week to withhold information of the sexual assault that occurred on campus two weeks ago.

Gordon said he did not disclose the fact that a sexual assault took place

because the case was closed — the alleged perpetrator had been arrested.

Also, according to the information he received, the victim didn't want to

press charges because she knew her attacker.

"In my opinion," Gordon said at the beginning of the interview before

re-thinking his decision, "there was no value in heightening worry and in

making a kind of sensationalism out of a case that was already closed." Gordon said there's no actual policy for releasing information on

assaults on campus — he arbitrarily decides case-by-case whether or not to

withhold information. "I'm sure some people disagree with that," he said.

But, he said, it wasn't necessary to notify the Humber community about

this p&rticular case because no one was in danger. For example, last year's

sexual assault of a student near the ravine was highly-publicized because

people had to be warned about the potential danger.

When reminded of the recommendation by last year's Task Force on

Violence — that reports to security would be made available to Humber

students — Gordon said, "My argument is that I'm in charge of running

the college and I think you have to make a judgment — if there's any good

to be served by withholding information or not withholding information."

He acknowledged the possibility that Humber students may not believe

the administration hasn't "covered up" assaults before now. "We've had,

in the last couple of years, I think, some attempted assaults, " he said.

"But," he said, "we don't have a long history of assaults and we have not

had a long history of cover-ups, I can tell you that."

When asked whether he had made a mistake in judgment, he responded,

"Possibly, that's a possibility."

Gordon said that he will talk to security and ensure that, from now on,

all assault reports to security will be posted on notices around the campus,

"In hindsight, there's no question that the case could be made that, even if

Kditorial First Headline

When push comes to shove, President Robert Gordon will admit when he has made a mistake. And he did make a mistake. By concealing the sexual assault which occurred in a North campus classroom, he essentially denied us our right to know. His reasons behind this decision are sincere. He rightly believed that the college community was safe from this particular attacker because he was known to the victim, had been apprehended and had been forbidden to set foot on campus property. But they are also outdated and dangerous. Outdated because we live in a more well-informed and open soci-

ety and the very least we expect from those in control is information.

As president of Humber, Gordon's main concern is maintaining a safe campus and wc applaud him for the measures he's taken in the

last couple of years — improved lighting, security phones, escort services and the like. He also recognizes the importance of maintaining a good public image for the college. But this should never be the motive for with-

holding information. Bad publicity or not, all offences should be reported to the community.

Ironically, the publicity from this particular case is actually pretty good, considering the suspect was successfully apprehended.

What it comes down to is that we are all aware that sexual assaults occur. This fact alone does not produce bad publicity. Cover-ups do. We are simply asking for what is our right — to know when and LETTER TO THE EDITOR: i^ where an assault occurrs. Only by placing notices around the school property and letting the Humber drivers rise and rebel Humber cormnunity know the details of occurrences reported to security can the administration expect us to feel secure.
