Bourassa resigned from the U of S effective June 1. University president Peter Stoicheff confirmed in July that the U of S had received, but said it would not include specifics on Bourassa’s claims because she was no longer an employee of the university. The case ignited global media coverage and a national reckoning over academics falsely claiming Indigenous identity, apparently as a way of securing resources meant for Indigenous peoples and furthering their own careers.
