The University of Toronto Governing Council has approved an updated Policy on Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment. The Varsity reports that the policy came into effect at the beginning of the year after a policy review; an independent review by a legal expert; and consultations with students, staff, and faculty members. This policy includes recommended timeframes for closing cases, with consideration of the “circumstances of the particular matter.” Additionally, the policy reportedly includes expanded definitions of key terms such as procedural fairness, reprisal, and tech-facilitated sexual violence.
