McMaster prof fired over ‘exploitative’ sexual relations with students: university

By Jordan Omstead, The Canadian Press

Posted May 28, 2024 10:20 pm.

A McMaster University professor, whose alleged pattern of sexual misconduct with multiple students involved behaviour the university called “unethical, inappropriate and in some instances exploitative,” has been fired.

Scott Watter was removed after an internal committee tasked with reviewing the allegations concluded it was the “only reasonable outcome,” the Hamilton university said.

The committee found Watter, an associate professor in the psychology department, had sexual relations with a number of students, including one who had suicidal thoughts and relied on him for support and another who he hired without disclosing the relationship.

In a joint statement, the university’s president and the chair of its board of governors said the decision was not made lightly but it was “critically important” for the university to act to safeguard student safety and uphold the institution’s standards.

“This process has been a long and challenging ordeal for all those involved,” read the statement signed by president David Farrar and Jane Allen.

“This was an extremely serious matter, and the university has a responsibility to allow the time necessary to ensure the process is thorough and fair to all parties.”

Watter does not accept the findings, his lawyer said in a statement, and he plans to ask a judge to review the decision.

Watter was suspended in early 2020 after allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced. He was arrested in June of that year but then later acquitted by a judge of the alleged 2017 sexual assault of a graduate student.

As the university announced his removal this week, it also made public a summary of internal hearings into Watter’s misconduct. A panel of three tenured faculty reviewed the allegations over 14 days between March and October 2023 before recommending Watter’s removal.

The committee found Watter pursued a sexual relationship with a graduate student who he knew had suicidal thoughts and engaged in self-harm, accusing him of exploiting her when she was vulnerable.

The committee not only found he contributed to her self-harm, saying it became more severe and frequent during their relationship, but “encouraged” it, in part by offering wound care and tips on how to reduce scarring. He also ignored opportunities to direct the student to external supports, the committee found.

It also found he had sexual relations with two students he met on a website marketed as a platform for so-called “sugar daddies” and then hired one of them as a research assistant without disclosing the relationship. He also used the website to flirt with an undergraduate student who he later invited to his office, though the two never met, the committee found.

Unlike Watter’s criminal trial, the hearings did not turn on the question of consent, though he maintains all relationships were consensual. Instead, the committee focused on issues of trust and power imbalances, along with university policies around faculty conduct and conflicts of interest.

During the hearings, Watter claimed he dealt with power imbalance issues in the relationships, but the committee found it was more likely his attempts to reassure each student who expressed doubts were manipulative, a summary report said.

“Dr. Watter’s conduct was incompatible with the core values of the university and cannot be reconciled with how a faculty member should be reasonably expected and trusted to conduct themselves,” the report read.

The allegations that surfaced in 2020 against Watter led the university to conduct its own investigation and suspend two other faculty members. Under pressure, the university expanded an external review to look into systemic issues in the department of psychology, neuroscience and behaviour, with a report recommending better training and oversight.

The report, prepared by Toronto law firm Rubin Thomlinson, said the department’s “collegiality” had “created a degree of complacency” that let inappropriate behaviours go “unchecked.”

A lawyer for Watter, who also represented him during the internal hearings, said the university’s decision did not reflect the “reality of the claims made against him.”

“The decision is reflective of a process that seemed not about determining wrongdoing but about shifting blame onto Dr. Watter, to distract from the University’s handling of demonstrably false allegations against him and several others,” lawyer Warren Mouck said in a written statement.

McMaster in Moscow: Women in Engineering mini-doc featured at G(irls) 20 Summit

June 17, 2013

What began as one conversation about women in the world of technology has evolved into a global movement with tangible results. And now, McMaster University has joined that conversation.

On June 17, the fourth annual G(irls) 20 Summit in Moscow, Russia, will bring together delegates from each of the G20 countries and the African Union for education, exploration and entrepreneurial development. For this international event, McMaster has partnered with the G(irls)20 Summit to create an original, thought-provoking video exploring the pressing global need for women in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math, or ‘S.T.E.M.’ careers.

Women in Engineering: Our Global Future, a mini-documentary created by McMaster’s Faculty of Engineering, explores the wealth of career opportunities that await young women in scientific and technological fields. Hosted by Elaine Kunda, member of the McMaster Alumni Association Board of Directors and lead advisor of the G(irls) 20 Summit, this video intends to inform and inspire women who may become our future engineers.

“Attracting women to scientific or technological fields is a challenge for most G20 countries,” says Kunda. “It made sense to go directly to the source and speak with students and faculty members in this field of study if we wanted answers and insight. McMaster Engineering responded immediately with their interest and support, and not only gave us access but funded this initiative.”

On June 17, the G(irls) 20 delegates, who are all girls aged 18-20, will have the opportunity to view the McMaster video and to draw their own conclusions about what can be done to open up economic possibilities for women around the globe.

Art Heidebrecht, acting dean of engineering, feels the mini-documentary highlights the Faculty of Engineering’s core values of diversity and inclusivity, and to fostering a collaborative and engaging academic community.

“The objectives of the G(irls)20 Summit align well with our key faculty priorities and we are proud to be an academic partner,” says Heidebrecht.  “This project communicates our shared belief in investing in girls and women, in the importance of women pursuing careers in engineering and technology, and in the pivotal role of women in developing a sustainable world.”

In the video, McMaster faculty members Heather Sheardown, Saideh Razavi and Sarah Dickson examine the reasons why there are fewer girls in these fields and share insights into the economic and social benefits of recruiting women into them. And engineering students, like Trinette Wright, share their passion and commitment to solving the world’s problems.

The G(irls) 20 Summit will include special guest speakers such as Arianna Huffington (founder of The Huffington Post ), Jennifer Buffet (NoVo Foundation president) and Lauren Bush Lauren (founder of FEED). The delegates will spend several days in workshops (June 15 – 18) with two days learning from presentations and panel discussions that will be livestreamed on www.girls20summit.com . They will engage with the concepts and spend a day developing a communiqué that will be presented to the G20 Leaders Summit in Russia in September 2013.

Filmed and produced locally by Hamilton’s very own Double Barrel Studios, this video is now taking a trip abroad to be shown on an international stage. Roslyn Allen and Lee Hillman bring their years of experience to the table to collaborate with McMaster University once again on an engaging outreach project.

“When we were asked to work with McMaster Engineering on this mini-documentary, we were excited at the possibility of creating a piece that would inform and inspire audiences,” says Allen. “It’s always a pleasure to produce engaging, forward-thinking material, especially when the message is this important. McMaster and the G(irls) 20 Summit have succeeded in highlighting the countless possibilities for women who take on leadership roles in our society. We couldn’t be more pleased to have brought this message to life on screen!”

Established in 2010, the G(irls)20 is an organization that promotes the economic empowerment, education and entrepreneurial training of girls and women globally.

“I’m very proud of the end result,” says Kunda. “I think the video raises topics that will stimulate an engaging discussion and it will resonate with girls and women who see it.”

Pro-Palestinian encampment at McMaster University ending, school says

Tents to come down by saturday evening after being set up on may 5, says mcmaster.

Social Sharing

McMaster University says the student-led, pro-Palestinian encampment that has grown on campus over the past two-and-a-half weeks is ending after the school and protestors agreed on terms.

The school's update , posted Friday, said there were a "series of meaningful discussions" that led to the decision. The university says the students agreed to remove tents by Saturday evening and not form another encampment on campus. 

"McMaster has voted to accept an offer," organizers of the encampment said in an online statement late Friday. "We secured commitments that begin to align with our principles of human rights and social justice for all."

Caleb Smolenaars, a third-year labour studies student at McMaster and a spokesperson for the McMaster Apartheid Divest Coalition, told CBC Radio's The Current,  "we were able to accomplish a full disclosure of direct and pooled investments that will take place in fall. And this disclosure is a great step. It's something that not very many universities have gotten."

On Saturday, Sam, a McMaster student who participated in the encampment, said, "the security was very respectful... We're proud students of the university. At the end of the day, we want to make sure that our university is not complicit in genocide — the university we attend to and the money we spend in our tuition does not go towards contributing to a genocide."

Sam didn't want to reveal his full name for fear of being targeted by those who don't approve of student encampments like the one he participated in.

The groups, McMaster Apartheid Divest Coalition and Solidarity for Palestinian Human Rights (SPHR), have been demanding McMaster disclose its investments connected to Israel and the war in Gaza and divest from them. 

Watch: Why students in the pro-Palestinian encampment protested against their own school   

Pro-Palestinian encampment at McMaster University comes down

On Friday, McMaster said its new  commitments included:

• Having its International Strategy Advisory Committee (ISAC) develop a framework for human rights considerations in international agreements.
• Meeting with its chief financial officer in June about the school's investment strategy, with SPHR in attendance.
• Annual disclosures of all direct investments and the names of the pooled funds held in the school's investment pool to the board of governors.
• Inviting SPHR to present on divestment to the board of governors.
• Creating an open process to allow questions about the school's investments.
• Making up to $200,000 available to support qualified Palestinian academics and students under the school's Scholars-at-Risk Program and Students-at-Risk Bursary.
• Publishing a series of stories about McMaster students impacted by conflicts and crises, including Palestinian students.

The ending of the encampment is in contrast with most other encampments on school campuses. Some have seen universities file injunctions on demonstrators, issue trespass notices  or police cracking down on protesters.

"This has been a very difficult time for many people on our campus. We recognize the profound grief that so many are experiencing," read McMaster's update.

"We also appreciate the willingness of those in the encampment who were willing to participate in such productive discussions."

In their statement, the student organizers also thanked "students, staff, faculty members, and community members" for their support, adding: "Let us be clear: not all our demands have been met... These results are just the beginning of our efforts." 

Smolenaars told Matt Galloway, the host of The Current , they're "hoping that McMaster's willingness to meet with us and reach this compromise will prompt other universities to take a little bit of a step further, and continue meeting with their students and meeting some of their demands, rather than just calling the police on them."

Listen | How the McMaster encampment ended in compromise:  

The student groups set up the encampment on McMaster campus on May 5.

It drew attention to the ongoing humanitarian situation in Gaza, where more than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed since early October, according to health officials in Gaza. 

While the health ministry does not distinguish between combatants and civilians in its death tolls, it says the majority of the dead have been women and children. 

The humanitarian situation follows the Israeli military's response to an attack on Oct. 7 that was launched by Hamas and other militants. In that attack, 1,200 people were killed, including several Canadian citizens. Hamas also took more than 250 people hostage.

The initial demands from the encampment were that the school:

• Disclose its investments in weapons companies and defence contractors, and divests from companies they say have ties to Israel and the conflict in Gaza.
• Terminate exchange programs and partnerships with Israeli academic institutions.
• Declare that Israel's bombardment of Gaza is a genocide.

Within a week, the encampment grew to have over 100 people and close to 70 tents, with daily activities and speakers.

• McMaster offers to meet with students about investments — only when pro-Palestinian encampment ends
• Pro-Palestinian protesters say meeting with McMaster University 'a good start'
• McMaster University students set up pro-Palestinian encampment 'indefinitely' as campus protests grow

Why Schedule a Campus Visit?

You’re making an important decision. You’ve browsed our website, reviewed brochures and done your research. Still, getting a feel for campus can help you make your final choice. Take in the culture and our Moscow location, experience life in the dorms and dining halls and see where you’ll be learning. Begin to see yourself at U of I with a campus visit.

Confirm your initial impression. If research grabs your attention, a campus visit goes beyond. Determine if you feel at home as a Vandal and if a particular program of study is right for you. Use your visit or campus tour to meet professors and other students, narrow down your list of majors and make a definite decision once you receive your acceptance letter in the spring.

Make the Most of Your Campus Visit

You’ve heard this advice before — don’t just look at buildings. Instead, keep the following in mind whether you’re attending an event, campus tour or a virtual session:

• When to schedule your visit: Check out our Moscow campus as students attend class, engage in research and go about their day-to-day lives as Vandals. Ideally, attend a tour before submitting your application, preferably in the spring of your junior year or early fall of your senior year.
• Be ready to ask questions: Make a list ahead of time to ask your tour guide, admissions counselor and students you see around campus.
• Consider multiple campus visits: Start virtually to get a feel for our campus. Then, to get a more personal perspective, consider attending an on-campus visit. Here, opt for a student-guided campus tour, and schedule in visits with schools or departments for programs you’re curious about.
• Take notes: What makes U of I unique? How does being a Vandal resonate with you? Document your visit with notes and photos to reference later.
• Prepare ahead of time: Avoid attending a campus visit on a whim. Instead, schedule your visit in advance, make plans for a college or program visit, explore our virtual resources, review a map to understand the layout of our campus and make travel arrangements. Additionally, continue your research to ask questions during your visit.

Leaving the bar set high: North Florida's Nick Gabrelcik graduates to Korn Ferry Tour

Trinity native holds unf records for victories, top-fives, top-10s and scoring average, in addition to four all-american berths and four asun player of the year awards.

Nick Gabrelcik leaves the University of North Florida golf program with every important record and a Korn Ferry Tour card. 

He also added his fourth Ping All-Southeast Region honor. 

Gabrelcik’s Korn Ferry Tour card, which is good for the final 13 regular-season events, came through his fifth-place finish on the PGA Tour University rankings, which tracks seniors for their finishes in college events and any professional events for which they have qualified or received sponsor invitations. 

He can make his first start next week in the BMX Charity Pro-Am in Greer, S.C. 

Among Gabrelcik’s other honors at UNF: 

• He is the first four-time winner of the ASUN Player of the Year award and was also the ASUN Freshman of the Year in 2021. 
• He leaves with school records in scoring (69.575), victories (nine), top-five finishes (24) and top-10s (33). Gabrelcik finished among the top-10 in 75 percent of his college starts. 
• He became the second UNF player to compete in the Walker Cup last year, and the first to play for the U.S. team. Gabrelcik also played on three Palmer Cup teams. 

“We’ve had a handful of good players before Nick but he raised the ball to a level that might not be matched again,” Ospreys coach Scott Schroeder said. “He did things that had not been done before at UNF and might not be again.” 

Schroeder said Gabrelcik goes to the Korn Ferry Tour with one important aspect of his game pro-ready. 

“His iron play is elite,” he said. “His mid-irons especially are as good as the top 20 percent on that Tour right now. He’s going to have to be a little more patient sometimes and he can putt and chip better. But I think he’s going to do well.” 

Blue Cypress expansion benefits, city, First Tee, JU 

The planned expansion of the Blue Cypress Golf Course will work for multiple constituents in golf on the junior, college and recreational level. 

Ground was broken earlier this week at the Arlington course. Three holes will be added to the nine-hole course (which has multiple tees) and there will be a clubhouse and short game area that will be used by the men's and women's golf programs at Jacksonville University and The First Tee. 

“Blue Cypress continues to be a gem in the Arlington area," Jacksonville City Council President Ron Salem said in a statement. “The addition of First Tee and bringing in the Jacksonville University golf teams to play will certainly elevate this course back to the stature it once had.” 

JU has already raised more than $1 million in funds and commitments towards the clubhouse and short-game area. 

"Jacksonville University continues to be such a wonderful community partner for us and we appreciate them," said Jacksonville Mayor Donna Deegan ." 

Blue Cypress is owned by the city of Jacksonville. It closed in 2016 but re-opened in 2021.

Area juniors will compete vs. Australia 

Two of the three First Coast members of the United States Golf Association U.S. National Junior Team will compete against the Australian High Performance program in a two-day match July 2-3 at SentryWorld in Stevens Point, Wis., the first competition for the U.S. National Development Program.  

Tyler Mawhinney of Fleming Island and Phillip Dunham of Ponte Vedra Beach will be part of the 12-player U.S. team, composed of six boys and six girls, who will compete in a team match play format. There will be four-ball and foursomes team matches on July 1 and singles on July 2. 

The U.S. National Junior Team has an 18-player roster of 10 girls and eight boys representing the country’s elite junior golf talent. It is the first of three national teams formed; an Amateur Team will be announced in 2025 followed by a Young Professional Team in 2026. 

Miles Russell of Jacksonville Beach is also on the U.S. team but is not competing at SentryWorld. 

Cooper Franklin leads area junior winners 

First Coast junior players captured three age-group titles at Florida Junior Tour events last week. 

Cooper Franklin of Ponte Vedra Beach closed with a 67 at the PGA National Fazio Course and edged Maxwell Morgan of Ponte Vedra (72) by one shot with an 8-under 208 at the PGA National 54-hole Major for 13-15 year-olds. 

Charlie Woods, the son of Tiger Woods, shot 68 in the final round and tied for fourth. 

In the FJT Palatka Open for 9-12 year-olds, Jack Cole of Jacksonville and Elize Nograbat of St. Johns won the 11-12 age groups, both squeezing out one-shot victories. 

Cole had rounds of 72-76—146 and defeated Reagan Smith of Lady Lake. Bennett LaConte of St. Augustine and Krish Chokshi of Jacksonville tied for third at 150 and Jay Huntley of Jacksonville Beach (155) was solo seventh. 

Nograbat was 9-over 149 to nip Lily Wachter of St. Augustine. 

Jax Beach needs volunteers 

The Jacksonville Beach Golf Club is asking for volunteers to work at the Drive, Chip and Putt local qualifier June 13. 

The national competition, sponsored by the Augusta National Golf Club, tests kids in four age groups on the basic skills of golf. There are local and regional qualifiers, leading to the finals each April at Augusta National on the Sunday before the week of the Masters Tournament. 

Lily Wachter of St. Augustine became the first winner from the First Coast when she captured the girls 11-12 age group this year.

Volunteer shifts are from 7-11 a.m. and 11 a.m.-3 p.m. To sign up, contact the golf shop at (904) 247-6184 or email [email protected] or [email protected] .
