A spokesman for Saint Mary’s University in Halifax says senior administrators were shocked after seeing a video of students in a frosh-week chant condoning non-consensual sex with underage girls.

Steve Proctor says the “sexist and offensive” chant posted on Instagram was led by student orientation leaders at the campus.

Proctor says the Labour Day incident occurred just days after senior school administrators and police met with student union officials and orientation organizers stressing the importance of discouraging sexism and sexual assault during frosh week.

“We were surprised,” he said in an interview.

“The senior director of student services had met with the [student] executive and the organizing committee … and spoke about these very issues and the need to be respectful.”
