Students and faculty from McMaster University are calling for transparency after two out of three staff members from the university’s Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Office (SVPRO) were laid off in January. Students Against Austerity at McMaster organized a rally to raise awareness about the dismissals. A letter signed by more than 500 people said that “[t]his decision has left many … members of the McMaster community feeling upset, afraid, angry and invalidated.” In a statement, McMaster said that “additional staffing is being planned to support the work of SVPRO.”
