Cape Breton Professor Fired for Demanding Lobster and Sex
By Nick Hazelrigg
July 15, 2019
An unnamed professor at Cape Breton University in Nova Scotia has been fired after offering a student better grades if they entered into a sexual relationship with him, according to a report from The Chronicle Herald. An unnamed student said the instructor offered a female student better grades if she brought him moose and lobster meat, which the student did. The professor then demanded the student have sex with him in exchange for better grades. The student immediately reported the incident and told The Chronicle Herald the incident led to the professor's termination. Cape Breton had not acknowledged the incident when asked by the Herald.

A faculty member at Cape Breton University has been terminated for demanding sex, moose meat and lobster from a student who was struggling in his course in exchange for better grades.
In an emailed response, university spokeswoman Lenore Parsley didn’t answer questions about the firing, the nature of the offence, details about the employee’s position and whether there had been other complaints about the employee.
“Cape Breton University is committed to a safe and respectful campus for all of our community members,” Parsley said. “Any and all complaints follow a formal process, as indicated in our respectful campus policy. ... “We won’t be commenting further.”
But the student who reported the instructor says the university told her two weeks ago that he was being fired, with the right to appeal. ... She said she hadn’t been notified of any appeal as of Thursday.
