Former student claims UBC funded her participation in Galloway inquiry, trial hears

A former graduate student testified in the B. C. Supreme Court in Vancouver that the University of British Columbia paid her for therapy and legal costs to join an independent inquiry into allegations against author Steven Galloway.

Earlier in the trial, UBC creative-writing professor Annabel Lyon said she made a 911 call after Galloway expressed suicidal thoughts, acted as a conduit for unverified accusations from a former graduate student, and regretted signing off on an incomplete thesis after pressure from a senior colleague. A public-relations specialist also argued that Galloway had the resources to rebuild his reputation but failed to use an effective crisis-communication plan.
