On Oct. 20, 2026, a former creative writing student testified in Vancouver that she was shocked by the extreme language used in a mass email sent by another student investigating misconduct allegations against Steven Galloway.

The email was part of an effort to examine the allegations, and the testimony highlighted the tone of the communication.

The case involves a defamation lawsuit filed by former University of British Columbia professor Steven Galloway, with the trial currently underway in Vancouver.
