Dear members of the 成人VR视频 community,
Welcome to the 2020-2021 academic year! I hope that you have all enjoyed some time for renewal over the summer months.
Although this Fall term will be unlike those past, our commitment to a respectful and inclusive campus has not wavered. This includes the development of 成人VR视频鈥檚 Plan for Addressing Anti-Black Racism, which include specific actions, targets, and timelines and will be accompanied by an allocation of resources to realize its goals. Addressing anti-Black racism is a matter of crucial importance, and I look forward to sharing the plan with you at the end of the month.
As an institute of higher learning, we share a particular responsibility to engage with one another with respect, empathy, and openness to diversity of ideas, identity, and experience. To help us best fulfill this responsibility, I suggest everyone take a few minutes to review 成人VR视频鈥檚 Policy on Harassment & Discrimination Prohibited by Law and Policy against Sexual Violence. Our and offer resources and programs that can strengthen our understanding of these Policies and measures to identify and challenge harassment, discrimination, and sexual violence. are also found through a range of resources.
I also remind those of you joining 成人VR视频 as new students, faculty or staff that each of us must complete 成人VR视频鈥檚 Sexual Violence Education Program: It Takes All of Us. This must be done as soon as possible, if you have not already done so.
It Takes All of Us is just one measure 成人VR视频 has put in place to prevent and respond to campus sexual violence. It is complemented by the work of our OSVRSE, which supports survivors (who may be students, faculty or staff) and leads educational and training activities for our campuses. I further remind the community that reports of sexual violence are investigated by special.investigator [at] mcgill.ca (independent investigators) who are mandated to carry out their work in a manner that is procedurally fair and trauma-informed.
Thank you all for doing your part in upholding a respectful and inclusive campus community at 成人VR视频.
Best of luck for the Fall 2020 term!
Sincerely,
Professor Christopher P. Manfredi
Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic)
