UBC prof steps aside from teaching after placed under supervision with 'focus on' sexual harassment

A celebrated University of B.C. psychologist who specializes in the science of lying has “agreed to step aside from his teaching duties” after his practice was placed under supervision with a “particular focus on” sexual harassment and boundary issues.

Dr. Stephen Porter has also agreed to issue letters of apology to an unknown number of complainants.

Porter teaches at UBC’s Okanagan campus in Kelowna. According to the university, he is an expert on “deception detection, criminal behaviour, psychopathic personality and behavioural cues to deception.”
