Fundamental to this mission is the ability to carry out academic activities in spaces that are welcoming and respectful of the pursuit and advancement of knowledge.<br />  <br /> Last month, McGill saw a protest at the Desautels Faculty of Management that resulted in the movement of all classes there online for the day. As I have communicated earlier, this was unacceptable.  <br />  <br /></p> Fri, 08 Mar 2024 15:26:22 +0000 Office of the President and Vice-Chancellor 746 at /president
