During the investigation, the club will be unable to represent ±«Óãtv in the Rugby Nova Scotia university league (divisions 1 and 2). It will not receive university funding, cannot book university space and its members cannot wear university colours/uniforms. (This decision does not affect the ±«Óãtv Rams Women’s Varsity Rugby Team at the Agricultural Campus.)

±«Óãtv is committed to being a safe, respectful place to learn and play. We expect our student-run sport clubs to adhere to their obligations in the Sport Club Handbook, and will not tolerate behaviour that humiliates, disrespects or threatens the safety of individuals in our community.
