Government of Québec Minister of Higher Education Pascale Déry has called the leaders of Québec’s universities to participate in a meeting in mid-September to discuss how they will discourage intimidation, harassment, racism, and violence on campus. “I am very concerned about the climate of tension on some campuses,” said Déry, who urged leaders to be vigilant in the coming weeks. “I ask you to be even more vigilant and, above all, proactive, by better communicating your internal policies and regulations to your entire community, and ensuring that they are enforced where necessary. The institutions are also expected to send Déry their crisis management policy and/or emergency measures plans.
