According to the Montréal Gazette, McGill University’s Faculty of Medicine is closing its Social Accountability and Community Engagement office, which was established in 2015 to address equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) issues. The newspaper also reports that three individuals who ran the office—all of whom are racialized minorities—are being replaced by a single person who does not come from such a minority background. In a statement, McGill said that “changes have been made to reorganize the oversight of its EDI work to a higher level of accountability under the direct purview of the Office of the Dean of Medicine.”
