them in the past. Will this
year be any different?
The sexual harassment
policy now found in the Students' Rights and Responsibilities handbook ("the
Greenbook") defines sexual
harassment as "a display, by
word or deed, of sexual atten lions towards another individual or group ofindividuals of a nature which may
reasonably be considered to
be vexatious or abusive."
A student who feels that
she or he has a case under
this somewhat ambiguous
definition can call one of
three sexual harassment assessors on campus, who will
then conduct a confidential
investigation and make a
recommendation to the principal. The principal then
decides whether disciplinary action is necessary.

these groups will move past
the loggerhead they have
reached without some serious
impetus for negotiations, perbaps from the new students on
the work group.
"The students have worked
really hard on those committees,andwe'renowonourthird

concerned with the assessor's
role as judge rather than advito..tho_!e filing a grievance .
Alternative plans to the current procedure include changing the assessors' role from that
of investigator to that of cornpanion and guide through the
somewhat complicated procedure. Such a change would
entail assigning another person
to investigate the case.
"There are a lot of tough issues I have to think out for
myself and other people," admitted Lisa Grushcow, vp university affairs and work group
member. Grushcow said she
hoped students would speak to
her informally about the issue.

                    <text>The Response of MAUT Executive to the Open Letter Published by the Students’ Society of
McGill University
17 April 2018

Background:
On Wednesday April 4th the Students’ Society of McGill University (SSMU) published an open letter
addressed to Principal Fortier, Provost Manfredi and Dean of Students Buddle, calling for the launch of
an external investigation into the office of the Dean of Arts’ handling of complaints against faculty
members. The letter asserts that there has been pervasive “mismanagement of sexual violence
allegations against professors in the Faculty of Arts.” It calls on the University to launch a third-party
investigation and specifies what the mandate of such an investigation should be. Since then, a number
of concerned faculty members have circulated their own letter in support of the SSMU’s open letter. In
response to the SSMU’s open letter, Provost Manfredi sent an email to all members of the McGill
community on Tuesday, April 10th, stating that the “University does not tolerate sexual misconduct in
any form” and that all complaints and allegations that contain sufficient facts are investigated and
where misconduct is found, appropriate disciplinary sanctions are applied.
It is the view of MAUT’s Executive that:
1. Sexual misconduct or any form of abusive behavior between members of the McGill community
cannot be tolerated under any circumstances.
2. Whenever there are reports of such behavior, there must be a prompt and effective institutional
response that both protects victims and “whistle blowers” from further harm while ensuring due
process for the accused.
3. As a community, our activities and conduct are governed by a series of regulations, policies, and
procedures which have been developed and adopted by representatives of the constituents of
our community. It is essential that we respect these regulations and work within the parameters
set by them. 1
4. The regulations pertaining to the tenure process and those pertaining to disciplinary processes
have different goals and mechanisms. They cannot and should not be conflated as each plays a
distinct role in supporting core principles of academic integrity on the one hand, and community
protection and due process on the other. Tenure, as outlined in the Regulations Pertaining to
the Employment of Tenure Track Academic Staff is granted exclusively on the basis of an

1

With respect to reprehensible conduct such as sexual violence, sexual harassment, harassment, and
discrimination, regulations, reference material, and resources include: Policy on Harassment, Sexual Harassment
and Discrimination Prohibited by Law . Supportive reference documents include: Flowchart ; Processes for
Reporting Instances of Sexual Misconduct by Faculty Members ; Discrimination and harassment factsheets;
Contacts for students; List of assessors; Policies and other resources; Senior Equity Officer; Office of Dean of
Students.

�assessment of academic performance. Procedures to deal with disciplinary action and to apply
appropriate sanctions, including dismissal, are provided in the University’s employment
regulations.
Tenure in no way protects professors from disciplinary action, including reprimand, suspension,
or dismissal for cause. Our regulations specifically allow for dismissal of tenured faculty
members in cases of serious misconduct.
5. There are mechanisms in place for periodic reviews of our regulations, policies, and procedures
and for ensuring their fair implementation. These mechanisms can and should be regularly
invoked if the intent is to render the existing regulations, resources and tools more accessible
and responsive. However, taking steps outside the parameters of these regulations, such as
releasing confidential internal reports regarding sexual harassment to the media, also shows a
disregard for these regulations.
We believe that McGill professors want their students to be healthy, happy, and intellectually
productive. Any behaviour to the contrary, including sexual or other abuse, is abhorrent to us. To this
end, MAUT along with student representatives have contributed diligently to the formulation of the
existing policies on sexual harassment. MAUT is aware of cases where sanctions have been imposed
following disciplinary action, but because of necessary confidentiality surrounding such cases, it is
difficult to assess how effective the implementation of the policies and procedures has been overall.
An open investigation is one possible tool for identifying any shortcomings in our regulations pertaining
to the Policy on Harassment, Sexual Harassment and Discrimination Prohibited by Law or other related
policies, or shortcomings in their implementation. Although we do not independently know of evidence
that argues current processes are inadequate, we would not in principle object to an investigation if its
mandate was clearly defined in terms of identifying flaws and shortcomings in these regulations and/or
their implementation, and remained respectful of the integrity of other regulations, due process,
collegiality and confidentiality.
Alternatively, we urge the student representatives to present their issues at internal forums including
Senate and the McGill Communities Council to sustain an open conversation that could lead to
constructive steps towards making our community a safer environment for all.
On behalf of the Executive Committee,

Alenoush Saroyan
President
