A bad movie plot? Or McGill 1994? The above scene could well happen at McGill iflrwin Gopnik, Dean of Students, has his way. At last Wednesday's Senate meeting, Gopnik proposed revisions to the code of student conduct. Revisions which show some of the most draconian attitudes of the McGill administration. The code of student conduct governs what is and what is not good behaviour for students, and outlines the procedures for hearings when a student is charged with an offence. Some of the proposed revisions to the code include: ·Eliminating the confidentiality of communications made through the university's computer system, including electronic mail. ·Allowing administrators to use illegally obtained evidence during hearings. •In cases of plagiarism the student would be presumed guilty notwithstanding Article 22 of the Charter of Student Rights which states that a student is innocent until proven guilty. •A student could be suspended for up to 30 days on the whim of the Dean of Students (an increase of IS days) before the student could appeal the decision. ·A student cannot have a lawyer present during the hearings. These changes are in violation of our legally established right to privacy, as well as contradicting the Charter of Students' Rights. Section I of the Fundamental Rights and Freedoms section of the Charter states that "Every student enjoys within the University all rights and frccdoms recognized by law." Rights and frecdoms recognized by law include the Quebec charter of human rights, which states that everyone has a right to privacy (violated by McGill's insistance on the right to search private computer accounts), and that illegally obtained evidence is not admissable. The proposed code is coming up for debate at Senate in the fall. The university community must choose whether we will be governed through a climate of fear, or strive to live in a community which respects basic human rights.

While41% of the vote is not enough for me to assume the role ofVP Internal, it is more than enough to send a clear message to the PGSS executive and council: make TH , what it is supposed to be, our recreation cent cr. Moreover, we should not be surprised to sec the policies we supported being implemented in the coming year. The current and future VP-lnternal should understand that fun is not a dirty word, but it is her job! Finally, don't think your vote was wasted.

But I can still remember 75 booths that could have driven one mad. The South Hall of Place Bonaventure had been hosting the fourth edition of Micro Expo, March 18-20, 1994. At that time, I knew several people who had chosen not to attend this major computer show. Just to preserve their mental health. If I myself was not among them, this was because I attended the Expo as a staff member of the MSR Foundation for Special Causes. Which does not necessarily involve that I'm still sane. Of course, the sacred monsters ofthecomputcr market were major attractions for the visitors. Virtual reality applications also enjoyed large scale interest. Therein, kids of four, and over, became parts of various dynamic landscapes. But I bet that the best educational shareware of this show was provided by wargames performed on large screens. As for our team, the aim was to gain interest in, and, why not? computer support for, a multimedia project to help dyslexic people. Whether the original goal was accomplished, it still remains to be seen. But at least we toured ourselves the Expo. Thereby, I discovered some very interesting booths. They had nothing particularly to do with a computer show.Onlyscarcelycould one find any computer stuff on their desks. Boy, and those booths were not that crowded insideashowours was! It seems to me that the ones who simply assaulted the Expo, on its very first day, included the genuine hackers. Whereas the exhibition looked more like a promenade (thank you, Mussorgsky!) during its second day. 'Jt is not accurate, however, for me to extend this evaluation to the third day as well. Because I did not refrain from taking a necessary break for some hours. Thus, I attended my very first St. Patrick's Parade since I have been here. When it all was over, everyone concurrently acted to dismember and pack everything that had been the show. My head was still tormented with images of the vivid life therein. I was wondering what kind of an Expo would be the next one. But for me, this one was not the crucial query, however .It was rather "what to do next?." One cannot be a volunteer, as I had been with MSR, for one's lifetime. Obviously, once the Micro Expo finished, I was not to lookanymorefor Carol from MCJ Library. Just to share a cigar & coffee break, and some bla-bla-bla impressions.

"I tried to find out a month ago, and I could not even get the most recent amendment of the Code from the Dean's office. Council only saw this document last Wednesday, and the document I brought to council [was in] bits and pieces from the secretary," said White. "I believe this code is stiJI very much in its rudimentary stage," noted Wong. "For example, ... the VP University Affairs and the Political Research Officer of the Students' Society have put together 13 major amendments plus 27 smaller amendments to this document." Gopnik said he felt that further consultation is not necessary. "I have a great deal of sympathy with the student problem in that they [student reps] turn over every year," Gopnik commented, adding, "I dare say that 80 per cent of the wording in this [document] originated from students last ye.tr." Faculty of Arts Senator Sam Noumoff said he felt that each year's Students' Society administration may have some differences in opinion every so often, and so they should have been consulted before Senate. "Let us go through the process which recognizes that, with each generation, things do change, and that we are more permanent. But we can't use that to muscle in the proposal," the professor commented. Senate only managed to reach section 19 of the code, which had revisions up to section 88, when time elapsed for discussion in the 'committee of the whole'. After this period, Gopnik moved that Senate accept the document. Faculty of Arts Senator Leanore Lieblein moved that the document be tabled to a future date and it was voted that Senate postpone acceptance of the document until the Nove;nber 23 Senate meeting so that the students may voice their concerns.

BY JILL·BETH RosENTHAL AND AuBREY COHEN The Dawson College Media Council recently voted to shut down student newspaperThe Plant after its editors refused to allow Council and administration representatives to inspect the newspaper before going to print. The November 10 decision came a week after The Plant ran a cover photo of a naked man with an erect penis, holding a condom .. Michelle Clabrough, Dawson's head of student services, pulled the issue for fear of being sued. Following this, the Media Council, which is made up of Dawson students, voted to allow re-distribution of the issue only if the offending phallus was painted over in black. On November 4, the Media Council issued the paper an ultimatum, ordering the editorial board to allow an advisor from the administration and a media council representative to look over the entire paper before going to the printer. The Plant refused to comply with this ultimatum. In response, the Media Council voted 2-1, with three abstentions, to close down the paper. Sean Garrety, editor-in-chief of The Plant, speculated that the paper was not the real issue. "The issue is, more or less, 'Who's running whom?"' he said, adding, "I know who it is, and it's Dawson. When it comes to legalities, they are going to be very anal." Lauren Kisilevsky, a Media Council member, said that a Board of Governors (BoG) representative advised them that the BoG was already considering action. She added that the Council mistook this person's opinion for fact. "We were told that if we didn't do something that strong, that The Plant would be closed down forever," she explained. Richard Blake, another member of the council, apologized for the mistake, admitting, "We did not look into the whole thing thoroughly." Clabrough commented that the authority of the media council to shut down the paper is "questionable," and that its constitution does not make a direct reference to it. The media council, Clabrough and the editorial board of the paper met to find a shortterm solution to the conflict after Plant staffers were locked out of their offices. In the end, they agreed that representatives of the council, the Board of Governors and The Plan twill meet to review the final four issues of the paper this semester after they are printed, but before distribution. Clabrough will serve as the BoG representative. She wiJJ still have final say as to whether or not an issue will be Sports distributed.

"I don't like it at all, but I'm going to Jose the battle and win the war," Garrety explained that he wants to incorporate the paper by the beginning of next semester, thus becoming autonomous from the administration.

"I'm sure Vice Principal [ofPianning and Resources] Francois Tavenas wanted to start instituting the policy by September," said former studentsciencesenatorArnold Kwok, who was present during the meeting. "I thought that by doing so [Tavenas] might have stifled some discussion in the Senate. As a result, there was hardly any student response." Tavenas was responsible for chairing the sec. The first draft of the policyhadbeencirculatedinthesummerofl993andhasseenmuchinput from students, academics and administration. The MCF policy consists of three documents: the code of conduct for users of the MCF, an interpretation document for the users' code of conduct, and the managers' guidelines, which describes what systems managers have the power to do. Throughout the document, the draftersofthecodetooktheadviceof the McGill community, and tried to ensure that users' rights are protected without compromising system security. The managers' guidelines clearly states this in section 2.1.4. "Systems managers must respect privacy as specified in the MCF Code ofConduct, unlessotherwiseallowed by the policy," it states. Most questionable actions, such asdenial ofaccess to McGill computers or the inspection of data, require the permission of a higher authority, such as a supervisor or a special au- systems manager for the McGill Computer Research Centre for Intelligent Machines. "Know the last time the directory was modified, and compare it to the new time. Basically there are three ways to check ifsomething has happened: modification time, access time, and creation time." To check your modification times on MUSIC, you can choose option four in the menu commands to display a full screen directory listing, or you could type in "library • f' at the command line. UNIX users will need to use the command "Is -1" option to show the times. There are, however, many problems that still exist besides problems with computer privacy. In section 15bofthe code, a student's right to be presumed innocentWltilprovenguilty has been suspended: "...itshallbepresumed that the student intended to deceive; the student shall bear the burden of rebutting this presumption by evidence satisfying the person or body hearing the case that no intent existed ..." Yet, in the Charter of Students' Rights it states that: "Every student enjoys within the University all rights and freedoms recognised by law." This ineludes the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. The Charter is also broken in another sectioQ, which describes the adrnissability of evidence: "the rules of evidence applicable in civil and crimianl court proceedings shall not apply to the hearing. Evidence which is not relevant or is only remotely relelvant shall be excluded." Evidence that has been obtained illegally can be included in the hearing depending on whether or not the evidence is related to the 'trial'. "If[ university officials] do illegally read through your e-mailletters, forexample,andsubmitit, [the members of the hearing] would be able to look at it," said Small. "Something like that I would think would be unacceptable... Most people, not just the law senators, would cringe at that. As an aside at the last Senate meeting, a lot of the academics and the other senators shared many of the concerns of the students." "Basically, there are two types [of evidence] which will be considered to be excluded," said Kwok. "This SOWlds perfectly straight forward to me, but at least by appearance the Chair and the legal assessor will rule on what evidence will be admissable or not; whereby, there is little input on the student's part." The difficulty with the admissa- er Ul :I: Second Offence: The Student Code of Condud Kwok's second question in the May 18th Senate brought to light the discrepancy between the MCF Code of Conduct and the Code of Student ConductandDisciplinaryProcedure (CSCDP) in terms of privacy. Section 12b of the CSCDP states that: "A student so accused [of misusing McGill's computing facilities] may not claim that communications made through the University cornput er system are confidential..." "At the last Senate meeting they decided to omit (the issue) and not discuss the matter until the Senate Committee on Computing had finalized what they were going to do," said VP University Affairs Jen Small. "I think most people would agreeitis extremely impractical, unecessary and a little absurd to have two parallel but different codes." " Hopefully the discrepancy between the MCF of Conduct and the CSCDP Will be resolved. of evidence is that not many students would know if their rights have been compromised. Unless one is a sharp law student, one may not realize that some of the evidence presented in the trial is only obscurely pertinant. For many students, a lawyer would be an ideal person to have present during the proceedings. Unfortunately, lawyers have been barred form the proceedings according to section 30 of the Code: ".. .advisors must be members of the University community, and must not be paid for these services, nor may they be a member of any bar." Small criticized this restriction. "The hearing itselfisvery stressful on the student," she stated. "It is very intimidating walking into that room and presenting yourself. Even ifyou're really sure of yourself, it's very hard • on someone. I think it would be nice to have someone there to argue for them." Amuch larger cause for concern is in section 55 where: "... [the Dean of Sutdents] may suspend the student for a period not exceeding 30 days(exarninationsmissed or papers not submitted because ofsuspension shall be counted as unexcused absenses or lateness..." "Honestly, a third or two thirds of a student's semester has been ruined," said Small "It's not even the time they've wasted waiting for this trial, it also costs a lot ofmoney to pay for a whole bunch of courses that you're not allowed to attend." The Code ofStudent Conduct ami Disciplinary Procedures has been returned once again to Dean Gopnik for another revision. This version ol the CSCDP will be presented to Senate during the October 12 meeting. 1- !;: er I!! er Ul :I: t- 0 er u. z Q !!! 11) er Ul Cl. 0 phlets illustrated with this cartoon of Richard Holden, who lost his bid to represent Verdun in the new Parti Quebecois government.

Cameron L e jeudi 10 janvier dernier, l’Association Étudiante de l’Université McGill (AÉUM) a tenu son premier conseil législatif de la session d’hiver 2013. Figurait sur l’agenda en particulier l’invitation devant le conseil du doyen de l’Université McGill Anthony Masi, venu faire un compte rendu de l’année 2012 et une présentation des objectifs de l’administration pour l’avenir. Au programme était aussi la motion présentée par Robin Reid-Fraser, VP externe de l’AÉUM, et Devin Bissky Dziadyk, représentant des sciences, concernant la tenue d’états généraux sur l’éducation supérieure du Québec. Compte rendu du Doyen Le doyen de l’université Anthony Masi a commencé son compte rendu en répondant aux questions des membres du conseil à propos de l’administration et des réformes de l’année précédente. Masi a ensuite évoqué les difficultés rencontrées cette année concernant la prévision du budget, car les fonds supplémentaires alloués par le gouvernement Charest dans le cadre de la hausse des frais de scolarité ont été coupés deux fois par ce dernier, avant d’être définitivement annulés par le gouvernement Marois. Sur ce, Masi s’est plaint que «le financement irresponsable du gouvernement [provincial] est au moins partiellement responsable du déficit auquel nous faisons maintenant face», et que «bien que le Québec ait fait de bonnes choses pour l’éducation, ses universités sont maintenant sous-financées». Le déficit actuel de l’université s’élève s’élève selon lui aux alentours de 88 millions de dollars. Masi a ensuite dévoilé les objectifs de l’administration destinés à faciliter sa mission, à savoir «faire progresser l’acquisition de connaissances par son enseignement, par ses travaux de recherche et par les services qu’elle rend à la société», selon le site Internet de l’université. Ces derniers comprenaient, entre autres, l’embauche du nouveau premier vice-président exécutif adjoint mais aussi le développement de McGill Innovative Learning Environments (MILE). Le but de cet organisme sera de restructurer les espaces d’études à McGill, en particulier les bibliothèques, dont les espaces utilisés pour les livres écrits pourraient être réaménagés au profit de l’acquisition de plus de livres électroniques. En effet, selon le Doyen: «Près de la moitié des livres écrits dans la bibliothèque McLennan ne sont jamais empruntés», ajoutant que cet espace pourrait être utilisé à d’autres fins. Motion concernant le sommet sur l’éducation supérieure Suite au compte rendu du Doyen et quelques motions concernant la législation de l’AÉUM, un débat a été ouvert concernant la motion de Robin Reid-Fraser et Devin Bissky Dziadyk, qui stipulait la demande par l’AÉUM d’états généraux sur l’éducation supérieur, à travers la Table de Concertation Étudiante du Québec (TaCEQ). Selon Reid-Fraser, «nous allons à ces rencontres [de la TaCEQ] sans vraiment savoir ce que nous voulons». Des états généraux fourniraient donc une plate-forme nécessaire aux discussions afin de bien représenter les désirs des étudiants au Québec concernant l’éducation universitaire. Ils permettraient selon la VP externe de faire un examen complet du système universitaire afin d’arriver préparé au sommet sur l’éducation supérieur prévu par le gouvernement provincial en février prochain. Après un long débat au sein du conseil, la motion à été reportée à plus tard. x CAMPUS Un code de conduite étudiant dénoncé par les étudiants Un élève de McGill en cour contre le nouveau Code de Conduite de l’Étudiant Stéphanie Fillion Le Délit A lors que le Code de conduite de l’étudiant de l’Université McGill s’apprête à être révisé, les modifications qui y seront apportées continuent à faire couler de l’encre. Un étudiant de l’université, Eli Freedman, a décidé d’aller jeter sa colère sur papier en déposant un grief contre ce Code de conduite en voie d’être modifié. Eli Freedman était présent lors de la manifestation du 10 novembre 2011 en marge de l’occupation du bâtiment James. «C’était un jour dramatique pour plusieurs étudiants alors que la police est inter venue lors d’une manifestation pacifique», explique-t-il. Après une manifestation ayant eu lieu dans la ville de Montréal contre la hausse des frais de scolarité annoncée par l’ancien gouvernement Charest, certains étudiants ont occupé le pavillon James, qui héberge l’administration de l’université. Certains d’entre eux sont entrés dans le bureau de la directrice de l’université, Heather Munroe-Blum, qui était alors absente. Les policiers de l’escouade anti-émeute sont ensuite intervenus et un protocole provisoire sur les manifestations et l’occupation de l’université a été adopté. Pour faire la lumière sur les événe- 6 Actualités ments et changer la manière d’intervenir de l’université lors de ce type de situation, la principale Monroe-Blum a confié l’affaire au professeur Christopher Manfredi. L’enseignant a émis un rapport en octobre dernier après avoir assisté à la tenue de quatre assemblées publiques sur la liberté d’expression. Dans son rapport, Christopher Manfredi a, entre autres, conclu qu’une révision du Code de conduite de l’étudiant était nécessaire. Pour Eli Freedman, ce changement représente une atteinte à la liberté d’expression et à certains droits de l’Homme. Il croit aussi que la modification aura un effet intimidateur et que, s’il est adopté, il jettera un froid sur les futures manifestations publiques d’étudiants. «Avec ces modifications du Code de conduite, les étudiants vont certainement être moins enclins à manifester, car les conséquences seront plus grave», déplore M. Freedman. Pour lui, le protocole adopté après le 10 novembre 2011 est un symbole de la vision de l’université des manifestations publiques, qui, selon lui, sont perçues comme une menace: «Les manifestants se sentent comme des terroristes sur leur propre campus», dit-il. L’étudiant qui termine son baccalauréat en philosophie a suivi les étapes du Crédit photo: Lindsay C. Cameron protocole et lu le rapport Manfredi pour enfin décider la semaine dernière d’aller de l’avant et d’envoyer un grief contre la modification de la loi au Sénat, prévue à la fin du mois de janvier. «Je sens que plusieurs personnes me [soutiennent]. Or, j’ai entrepris moi-même les démarches», a t-il affirmé au Délit, admettant avoir reçu certains conseils juridiques gratuits de certains avocats. Eli Freedman a donc mis ses intentions sur papier, avec l’aide de certains professeurs et espère avoir un impact sur l’administration, même s’il est très pessimiste à ce propos. Il participera également à une manifestation contre la modification du Code de l’étudiant de l’université qui aura lieu le 31 janvier prochain au Sénat. x x le délit · le mardi 15 janvier 2013 · delitfrancais.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
