A crowd of hundreds marched on Dalhousie University’s campus in Halifax Friday, demanding justice, but not restorative justice, in connection with the dentistry scandal.

The rally, organized by the Avalon Sexual Assault Centre, began quietly, but anger simmered over the school’s restorative justice plan for male dentistry students who allegedly made sexually violent comments on Facebook about some of their female classmates.

The school's president, Richard Florizone, announced Wednesday night that fourth-year students involved in the Facebook group “Class of DDS 2015 Gentlemen” will not face suspension or expulsion.

“I'm outraged that the president of Dalhousie did not deal with this in a firm manner,” says demonstrator Linda Santoloce.

Some of the angriest words came from those who work on campus.

“What are you trying to restore Dalhousie, your reputation? Because I would love to define a working definition of justice with you,” says Jude Ashburn, an outreach coordinator for South House, the school's women's centre.

While women voiced their frustration, two men who lost their daughters stood by in support.

“I think if they had a Facebook group that was racist and had a bunch of racist jokes on there, or if it was a group about molesting children, those guys would be gone right now,” says Glen Canning, father of Rehteah Parsons. “But because its violence against women, somehow we turn it back in the women's faces and say you go and talk with these guys and work something out.”

John Miller is a dentist and a Dalhousie grad. His daughter Catie was murdered and buried just last month.

“This is a black mark for the university and the dental school,” says Miller.

Jordan Roberts is a former member of Dalhousie’s disciplinary committee.

“I sat on the disciplinary committee and watched first year students, who had misappropriated quotes in papers, receive larger academic sanctions than men who threaten to rape their classmates and use drugs to sedate women and rape them,” says Roberts.

Ashburn says the fight for justice has just begun.

“We're not going to be patient while you arbitrarily hope we quiet down and you just do this behind closed doors. It's not going to happen,” says Ashburn.

The rally ended with the promise to Dalhousie’s president.
