Ruth Panofsky, an English professor at Toronto Metropolitan University, had just restarted her class in Kerr Hall after a short break when a graduate student pulled her into the hallway.It was March of last year, just weeks after campus had fully reopened following pandemic closures. Panofsky was so shocked by the incident she moved all of her courses online and didn’t step foot on campus for the remainder of that semester.
TMU officials say the university acted quickly and has done everything possible to address safety concerns, “The university took the approach that, ‘Well, [police] caught the guy so the case is closed,’” she said in a recent interview. “We have heard loud and clear that there has been a communication gap, and we are determined to address that as best we can,” she said., says it has spent $400,000 on “safety enhancements” at Kerr Hall since the spring, not including the costs of additional security guards.
“All of us in the English department, at least, were really shocked at how empty the campus was,” Panofsky said. “It was really desolate.” Kerr’s many entrances also allow those without an access card more opportunities to get into the building, as students stream in and out. Grass said the incident reports are “fact-based” and short on detail to protect the privacy of the victims, and campus-wide security emails are only sent when there is an “active or ongoing” public safety risk.
