Update on last week's protests
I want to address events that took place over the past week as classes came to an end, and most have begun to prepare for exams. With protests taking place across our campus, some individuals have again taken advantage of their right to freedom of expression by attempting to disrupt University activities. While some protested peacefully without breaching the bounds of 成人VR视频 policy, or the law, others did not. This message is addressed to the latter group.
Further disruptions on campus
Today, some protestors and picketers again attempted to disrupt University activities. While many protestors and picketers remained within the bounds of 成人VR视频 policy and the law, some did not. As a result, 成人VR视频 contacted police to intervene. Our security personnel in Campus Public Safety acted superbly 鈥� defusing some difficult situations, keeping our community safe, and working closely with police to minimize disruptions.
Disruptions and respect for others
This afternoon we received reports of several disruptions on campus caused by both protesting and illegal picketing. Picketers temporarily blocked access to one building but stopped once police were called to intervene. Protestors tried to disrupt several classes, with most being quickly relocated before security personnel and disciplinary officers needed to intervene, or the police needed to be called.
Invitation to a virtual town hall on recent government measures and their impact on 成人VR视频

Review of doxxing and other related practices on campus
Over the last few months, members of the University community have increasingly reported being victims of, or fearing that they will become victims of, the practice known as doxxing.

The New Vic Project and Sustainability at 成人VR视频
When 成人VR视频 completes redevelopment of the lower portion of the site of the former Royal Victoria Hospital in 2028, we will add 22,800m2 (net) of much-needed, state-of-the-art teaching and research spaces to our downtown campus.

Provost's messages and articles about academic freedom
Academic freedom is central to 成人VR视频鈥檚 mission of advancing learning through teaching, scholarship and service to society.
Quebec's academic freedom bill would compromise higher education
State intervention in university governance in incompatible with academic freedom, which depends on institutional autonomy.
Academic freedom, respect for students not mutually exclusive
Universities can, and must, simultaneously defend academic freedom and advance equity, diversity and inclusion.
Academic freedom
成人VR视频鈥檚 Statement on Academic Freedom has not shifted in its scope or application. This remains true even in the face of several public statements calling upon us to prioritize equity and inclusiveness over academic freedom, or vice versa. At 成人VR视频, none of these principles supersedes the other, nor is any of them absolute. Determining the limits of any of these principles always requires a contextual analysis.

Winter 2022 Academic Term
October 25, 2021
As we mark the midpoint of the Fall 2021 Term, I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for your ongoing commitment to our safe return to campus. We are doing extremely well as a campus community in taking the steps needed for COVID prevention.

Given our commitment to on-campus teaching and learning while maintaining a safe on-campus environment, we have decided that lecture courses with enrolment capacities of 200 or greater will mostly be offered through remote delivery. All other teaching activities will be allocated a classroom space, so that instructors can deliver their courses in a manner that ensures engaging in-person experiences for students.

Today, I, together with other University leaders, members of the staff in the Office of the Provost, and people across the country, will wear the orange shirts that represent a commitment to reconciliation.

I ask all members of our community to take time to reflect on our shared history, to learn about residential schools and, importantly, about the rich and varied Indigenous cultures across our country.

I am aware of a petition circulating within the 成人VR视频 community that calls upon the University to take measures in the wake of the outbreak of violence in the Middle East. The petition demands that 成人VR视频 break ties with Israeli institutions and revise our policy-based definition of discrimination. While the petition has not yet reached the 成人VR视频 administration, I recognize the attention it is receiving and the impact that it is having within our community.
Mise en circulation d鈥檜ne p茅tition aupr猫s de la communaut茅 mcgilloise
17 mai 2021
J鈥檃i eu connaissance d鈥檜ne p茅tition mise en circulation aupr猫s de la communaut茅 mcgilloise, dans laquelle on demande 脿 l鈥橴niversit茅 de prendre des mesures en r茅ponse aux violences qui ont 茅clat茅 aux Moyen-Orient. La p茅tition r茅clame que 成人VR视频 rompe ses liens avec les 茅tablissements isra茅liens et qu鈥檈lle revoie la d茅finition qu鈥檈lle fait de la discrimination, une d茅finition dont sont inspir茅es les politiques de l鈥橴niversit茅. Si la p茅tition n鈥檃 pas encore 茅t茅 remise aux membres de la direction de l鈥橴niversit茅, je crois qu鈥檌l est n茅anmoins n茅cessaire d鈥檈n reconna卯tre l鈥檈ffet et la port茅e au sein de notre communaut茅.
The elimination of racial discrimination
March 22, 2021
Last week, we witnessed a deadly attack in North America against the Asian community. These acts of violence can cause members of the 成人VR视频 community 鈥� especially those who are racialized 鈥� to feel targeted, threatened, and unwelcome. In condemning such acts in unequivocal terms, I reassert 成人VR视频鈥檚 commitment to eliminating racial discrimination and addressing inequity wherever it manifests so that each of you feels welcomed at 成人VR视频. You belong here.
L鈥櫭﹍imination de la discrimination raciale
22 mars 2021
Pas plus tard que la semaine derni猫re, nous avons 茅t茅 t茅moins d鈥檜ne attaque meurtri猫re contre la communaut茅 asiatique en Am茅rique du Nord. Ces actes de violence peuvent amener des membres de la communaut茅 mcgilloise 鈥� particuli猫rement les personnes racis茅es 鈥� 脿 se sentir cibl茅s, menac茅s et rejet茅s. En condamnant de tels actes sans 茅quivoque, je r茅it猫re l鈥檈ngagement de l鈥橴niversit茅 脿 茅radiquer la discrimination raciale et 脿 corriger les in茅galit茅s, peu importe o霉 elles se manifestent, afin que chacun d鈥檈ntre vous se sente le bienvenu 脿 成人VR视频. Vous avez tous votre place ici.
Return to on-campus activity in Fall 2021
February 23, 2021
成人VR视频 will return to in-person teaching beginning in Fall 2021. We will likewise continue to develop plans for a progressive return to on-campus work for administrative and support staff, with the goal of achieving a regular presence by September 2021. The health and wellbeing of our community will of course remain a top priority, and all necessary health and safety measures will continue to be implemented to ensure that our campuses remain safe places to learn and to work in the coming year.
Reprise des activit茅s sur le campus 脿 l鈥檃utomne 2021
23 f茅vrier 2021
L鈥檈nseignement en pr茅sentiel reprendra 脿 l鈥檃utomne 2021 脿 成人VR视频. Nous continuerons 茅galement de planifier le retour progressif du personnel administratif et de soutien sur les campus d鈥檌ci septembre 2021. La sant茅 et le bien-锚tre de notre communaut茅 demeurent notre priorit茅 et que nous continuerons d鈥檃ppliquer toutes les mesures n茅cessaires afin que nos campus soient des endroits o霉 chacun d鈥檈ntre nous pourra 茅tudier et travailler en toute s茅curit茅.
Summer 2021 term
January 26, 2021
There is, understandably, growing optimism as COVID-19 vaccines are rolled out across Quebec and Canada. Even in light of such positive developments, there is still much uncertainty. Summer 2021 teaching and learning activities will therefore be delivered primarily through remote platforms.
Session d鈥櫭﹖茅 2021
26 janvier 2021
L鈥檃rriv茅e des vaccins contre la COVID-19 au Qu茅bec et dans le reste du Canada fait souffler un vent d鈥檕ptimisme, mais nous devons toujours faire face 脿 l鈥檌ncertitude. C鈥檈st pourquoi les activit茅s d鈥檈nseignement de l鈥櫭﹖茅 2021 seront offertes principalement 脿 distance.
FY2021 budget
January 5, 2021
The University鈥檚 final budget for FY2021 was approved by the Board of Governors on December 10, 2020. While we have been able to reduce expenses substantially, the savings will not be sufficient to offset entirely the loss of revenue we will experience this year. Consequently, the FY2021 budget anticipates an operating deficit of $13.1 million.
Le budget de l鈥檈xercice 2021
5 janvier 2021
Le budget final de l鈥橴niversit茅 pour l鈥檈xercice 2021 a 茅t茅 approuv茅 par le Conseil des gouverneurs le 10 d茅cembre 2020. Bien que nous ayons r茅ussi 脿 r茅duire consid茅rablement les d茅penses, les 茅conomies r茅alis茅es ne seront pas suffisantes pour compenser enti猫rement la perte de revenus enregistr茅e cette ann茅e. Par cons茅quent, le budget de l鈥檈xercice 2021 pr茅voit un d茅ficit de fonctionnement de 13,1 millions de dollars.
Academic freedom
December 15, 2020
成人VR视频鈥檚 Statement on Academic Freedom has not shifted in its scope or application. This remains true even in the face of several public statements calling upon us to prioritize equity and inclusiveness over academic freedom, or vice versa. At 成人VR视频, none of these principles supersedes the other, nor is any of them absolute. Determining the limits of any of these principles always requires a contextual analysis.
Libert茅 acad茅mique
15 d茅cembre 2020
La port茅e et les modalit茅s d鈥檃pplication de l鈥�脡nonc茅 sur la libert茅 universitaire de l鈥橴niversit茅 demeurent inchang茅es, et ce, malgr茅 plusieurs d茅clarations publiques nous demandant de faire passer l鈥櫭﹒uit茅 et l鈥檌nt茅gration avant la libert茅 universit茅, ou inversement. 脌 成人VR视频, aucun de ces principes n鈥檃 pr茅s茅ance sur les autres ni n鈥檈st absolu, et leurs limites ne peuvent 锚tre d茅finies qu鈥櫭� la lumi猫re d鈥檜ne analyse de leurs contextes d鈥檃pplication.

Delayed start for Winter 2021 term
December 2, 2020
成人VR视频鈥檚 Registrar and Executive Director of Enrolment Services submitted a motion to Senate for changing the Winter 2021 Academic Calendar to reflect the exceptional demands of the pandemic. Senate approved the motion at its December 2 meeting. As a result, the University will open as planned on January 4, but Winter classes will now begin on Thursday, January 7 and end on Friday, April 16.

Planning the Winter 2021 semester
September 29, 2020
Through the hard work, resilience and flexibility of everyone in our community, 成人VR视频 has been able successfully to continue to deliver its high quality academic programs. Now, with the Fall semester well underway, many of you are looking ahead to what teaching and learning activities will look like in the Winter 2021 semester. Given Montreal鈥檚 current Level 4 (red) status, and possible further development of COVID-19, Winter 2021 courses will be delivered primarily through remote platforms, but with enhanced in-person teaching activities planned across all Faculties.

29 septembre 2020
Gr芒ce 脿 la pers茅v茅rance, 脿 la r茅silience et 脿 la souplesse de sa communaut茅, l鈥橴niversit茅 成人VR视频 a pu continuer d鈥檕ffrir ses programmes de qualit茅 sup茅rieure. Maintenant que la session d鈥檃utomne est bien amorc茅e, beaucoup se demandent ce que nous r茅serve la session d鈥檋iver 2021 relativement aux activit茅s d鈥檈nseignement et d鈥檃pprentissage. En raison du niveau d鈥檃lerte - palier 4 (rouge) - en vigueur 脿 Montr茅al, et de l鈥櫭﹙olution potentielle de la pand茅mie de COVID-19, les cours de l鈥檋iver 2021 seront offerts principalement 脿 distance. Cela dit, toutes les facult茅s pr茅voient des activit茅s d鈥檈nseignement en pr茅sentiel am茅lior茅es.

September 3, 2020

We have just begun our ninth week since the interruption of most of our on-campus activities as a result of the COVID-19 crisis.
