The majority of Queen’s students know or have heard of the very popular Instagram account “@stolenbysmith’. Created back in July of this year, this account has been a web-based platform for anonymous submissions to inform the public of allegations of malfeasance throughout the school.

Yesterday, The Queen’s Journal released a story of legal action facing ‘stolenbysmith’ by a past member of the Smith School of Business administration. According to the article, the information arose during a University Council on Anti-Racism and Equity (UCARE) meeting back on the 21st of September. It was said that the allegations written on the account have motivated the legal action. In a statement to The Journal, the Smith School of Business confirmed that it is not involved in any legal action against the account; they are also taking steps to support the affected students.
