Two more McMaster staff connected to sexual misconduct investigation

Two more McMaster University staff members are being investigated as part of an ongoing look at sexual misconduct at the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience and Behaviour. 

A complaint of a past sexual assault has been made against a former staff member of the department, who now works in another area of the university.

The person has been put on administrative leave and is no longer allowed on campus.

Meanwhile, a current staff member at the department has been restricted from interacting with students in connection with a separate allegation.

The university says both incidents are being investigated under the sexual violence policy.

The school began an investigation into the department in February, after an allegation of sexual assault led to charges against professor Scott Watter.
