Ont. university says professor fired over 'unethical' sexual relationships with students

In a news release issued Monday, the university shared the outcome of what it described as a “difficult situation” involving Scott Watter, who taught psychology, neuroscience and behaviour at the post-secondary institution west of Toronto.

Watter was acquitted of the charges, documents released by the school following the decision show, but an internal investigation into the allegations against him continued. “Removal of a faculty member is not a decision that is made lightly but it is critically important that the university is able to act to safeguard the safety of our students and all other members of the campus community, and to uphold the high standards of our institution,” McMaster said.
