- The Joint-Board Senate Committee on Equity (JBSCE) reviews and makes recommendations on University policy with a view to promoting equity and inclusion. The JBSCE is committed to promoting fair access to academic and employment opportunities, and full participation in the McGill community, for all individuals, particularly for those from social groups that have historically encountered or continue to face systemic barriers. The Subcommittee on Persons with Disabilities represents the interests of people with disabilities (students, staff and faculty) at McGill, and supports the JBSCE’s overarching mission.

In most contexts, service dogs are considered reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities and should be permitted to travel with their owner throughout campus. Refusal of entry or service on the basis of a service animal may be considered discrimination (under ).
