The Government of Québec is launching an investigation into the on-campus climates at Dawson College and Vanier College. The decision was made after QC reportedly received student complaints about safety concerns amid tensions related to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. QC Higher Education Minister Pascale Déry stated that the investigation will examine the cégeps’ governance mechanisms to determine whether they have deployed all available tools at their disposal to ensure student safety. In response, both Dawson and Vanier have issued statements expressing their surprise over the investigations, though both have affirmed their full cooperation. In a statement to City News, Vanier added that it expects the investigation’s findings to be made public.
