Antigonish Sign Draws Condemnation From Two Universities

A sign hung outside an off-campus house in Antigonish, N.S., during St. Francis Xavier University's homecoming weekend is being described as an example of rape culture, and CBC reports it drew condemnation from two universities and from a professor who teaches at St. FX. The uncomfortable part of stories like this is jurisdictional: off-campus houses sit in the gap between a university's rules and a town's authority, and homecoming is the weekend when that gap gets tested in public.
