Michael Lajoie took it upon himself to 'punish' students for alleged plagiarism — kicking them in the buttocks and, in one instance, hitting a student with a wooden stick 20 times

SAULT STE. MARIE — A former Algoma University computer science professor has pleaded guilty to assaulting four male international students.

He approached them after class to discuss the issue and what would happen, prosecutor David Didiodato said in an agreed statement of fact. The accused had them line up next to each other, then kicked "each student forcefully in the buttocks with his foot." Lajoie's actions, in the words of one of his victims, "gave me a perspective on Canada I never imagined before," the Crown said, reading from the man's victim impact statement.
