The Member, a vice-principal, faced allegations of professional misconduct for making inappropriate and uncomfortable comments to several female colleagues over a three-week period.
The Member pled guilty to the allegations, admitting that his conduct violated the standards of the profession and constituted disgraceful, dishonourable, or unprofessional conduct.
The Discipline Committee accepted the joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand and the completion of a course on boundaries.
The Committee also ordered publication of the decision with the Member's name, finding that the aggravating factors outweighed the mitigating factors and that publication was necessary for specific and general deterrence.
