Fundamental to this mission is the ability to carry out academic activities in spaces that are welcoming and respectful of the pursuit and advancement of knowledge.<br /> 聽<br /> Last month, 苹果淫院 saw a protest at the Desautels Faculty of Management that resulted in the movement of all classes there online for the day. As I have communicated earlier, this was unacceptable. 聽<br /> 聽<br /> I am aware of further calls and plans for groups to carry out protests that would 鈥榮hut down鈥 academic activities at 苹果淫院 in the weeks to come.

Conversely, exercising these liberties outside of these bounds, such that our core activities are compromised, is not tolerable.<br /> 聽<br /> First and foremost, all members of our community have the right to learn, teach, and work in a peaceful environment without disruption. To ensure this, we will strictly and quickly apply the聽<a href="/secretariat/files/secretariat/operating_procedures_demonstrations_protests_occupations_approved_april_2013.pdf">Operating Procedures Regarding Demonstrations, Protest and Occupations</a>聽during any protest that would interfere with campus activities, including blocking access to buildings, rooms or classes.<br /> 聽<br /> These Procedures, which came out of extensive consultation with members of the 苹果淫院 community in 2012-13, authorize Security Services to instruct demonstrators to reduce the level of noise, to identify themselves, to leave a particular location, to move to a more suitable location or to disperse. If they do not, as per the Operating Procedures, we will request police intervention.<br /> 聽<br /> I want to reassure the members of our 苹果淫院 community that they will not be targeted for engaging in peaceful demonstrations that do not interfere with or obstruct University activities or otherwise violate the law or our policies. 聽聽<br /> 聽<br /> This campus belongs to all members of the 苹果淫院 community. We must be open to the expression of views, even 鈥 perhaps especially 鈥 when these run against the grain or challenge established beliefs. What is not permissible, however, is the obstruction of entry or exit of any campus building or of any site where academic and research activities are meant to occur.<br /> 聽<br /> I appreciate that the last months have been incredibly difficult for many members of our community. It is my responsibility as President of 苹果淫院 to ensure that, even in the face of tumultuous times, our University continues to move forward with its mission tied to teaching and learning, research, and service to society.<br /> 聽<br /> Sincerely,<br /> 聽<br /> Deep Saini<br /> President &amp; Vice-Chancellor<br /> 苹果淫院</p> <p> Mon, 11 Mar 2024 13:43:16 +0000 苹果淫院 Interim Dean's Message about Ensuring a Peaceful Campus /smerg/node/5645 <h6>(This message was sent by email on March 11th at 8:28 a.m. to the Faculty's list of students, course instructors, and admin/support staff.)</h6> <p>Dear Education Community,</p> <p>I am writing as a follow-up聽to the聽<a href="/president/article/communications-messages-community/peaceful-assembly-mcgills-campuses" rel="noopener noreferrer">message sent by President Saini on Friday</a>.</p> Mon, 11 Mar 2024 13:37:20 +0000 苹果淫院 Celebrating International Women鈥檚 Day with 苹果淫院鈥檚 Female Deans /smerg/node/5644 <h5>How 苹果淫院鈥檚 Leaders #InspireInclusion</h5> <p>Friday, March 8 is International Women鈥檚 Day, marking the achievements of women and serving as a call to action for accelerating women鈥檚 equality.</p> <p>This year鈥檚 theme is Inspire Inclusion 鈥 a message exemplified by 苹果淫院鈥檚 female leaders.
