Members of the Concordia Association for Students in English released a statement Friday claiming "the courses taught by the professors named online are being reassigned pending investigation, the books written by those faculty members have been removed ... and a third party is conducting the investigation."

In a statement posted online on Monday, Concordia University president Alan Shepard said he "became aware" of allegations of sexual misconduct at the English department in the afternoon after reading an online article about the staff and atmosphere inside and outside of classrooms.
