SASKATOON – Police in Saskatoon are investigating a possible hate crime after a University of Saskatchewan meeting was interrupted with “inappropriate” images and video and “hateful rhetoric.”
A technical breach was reported to police on Thursday, the same day the university was holding its General Academic Assembly over Zoom and in person.
The annual meeting involves high-ranking university officials, faculty and students hearing from the president on the state of the school.
The University of Saskatchewan says it’s aware of the “racist and deeply inappropriate incident” during the online portion of the meeting and that it’s working with police to identify any suspects.
The university says its experts are also investigating and that there’s no threat to the school’s IT systems.
Police say they’re treating the incident as wilful promotion of hatred.
