The Ontario College of Teachers brought disciplinary proceedings against a member for engaging in inappropriate conversations and contacts with two adult female students.
The member did not attend the hearing but submitted a plea of no contest and an Agreed Statement of Facts.
The Discipline Committee found the member guilty of professional misconduct for failing to maintain professional boundaries.
Accepting a joint submission on penalty, the Committee permitted the member to resign, cancelled his certificate of qualification, and imposed conditions on any future application for reinstatement.
The Committee also ordered the publication of the member's full name in the College's official publication.
