The Marsden-Donnelly harassment case occurred in 1997. Rachel Marsden, a student at Simon Fraser University (SFU), and Liam Donnelly, a swim coach there, accused one another of sexual harassment. Following an internal hearing, Donnelly was dismissed, only to be re-instated once the case went public. The case became a cause célèbre both in Canada and internationally because of the salaciousness of the details, the topicality of sexual harassment, and the procedures for investigating it. The case led to the resignation of SFU President John Stubbs and a rewriting of procedures for investigating allegations of sexual harassment.
