The member, a teacher, faced discipline proceedings for physically assaulting a student by grabbing him by the neck and pushing him into a closet, and for sending unsolicited, inappropriate, and offensive letters to young female colleagues.
The Discipline Committee found the member guilty of professional misconduct, noting his actions violated multiple provisions of the Professional Misconduct Regulation.
The Committee ordered a verbal reprimand and publication of the decision, taking into account the personal and financial embarrassment the member had already suffered through a public trial and employer penalties.
