㽶Ƶ Reporting Webform for Incidents of Doxxing, Intimidation, or Discrimination

Overview

Members of McGill community may report incidents of intimidation or discrimination, including doxxing, in a safe and confidential manner. Such reports may raise concerns about conduct by students, faculty, staff, or persons hired to work on campus on a temporary or contract basis (e.g., security agents).

To report here, the incidents in question must have occurred within the “㽶Ƶ Context” and where both the affected party and the respondent are members of the McGill Community. 

Complaints are assessed to determine if they fall within the “㽶Ƶ Context” based on 㽶Ƶ policies (e.g., Policy on Harassment & Discrimination, Policy against Sexual Violence, Code of Student Conduct and Disciplinary Procedures) considering factors such as location, involvement in University-sponsored activities, or online conduct affecting campus safety.

Definitions

For the purposes of this process, “㽶Ƶ Context” is defined as per Section 1.12 of the Policy on Harassment & Discrimination as “an occurrence: 

  1. on University premises;  
  2. within the context of a University-sponsored program or event or activity whether on campus or off-campus (e.g., University-sponsored competitions or field trips/studies); or 
  3. off-campus, including online or in social media, where the conduct has consequences that may be reasonably seen to adversely affect: 
    1. the safety of students, faculty or staff while on campus or while participating in a University-sponsored program, event or activity; or,  
    2. the right of a Member of the University Community to use and enjoy the University’s learning or working environment”.

  1. anyone holding office under the University Charter and Statutes; 
  2. an appointee or employee of the University;
