McGill vous regarde
Doit-on questionner la place des caméras et de la police sur le campus?
Alexandra Nadeau
Le Délit

C

ombien de caméras surveillent les étudiants de
McGill? Que penser des
interventions de la police sur le
campus? Depuis le printemps
étudiant, la place de la police
a augmenté à Montréal, et de
petites caméras de surveillances
bourgeonnent un peu partout
aux intersections stratégiques au
sein de la métropole.
L’Université McGill ne fait
pas exception à la règle. Depuis
le rapport Manfredi et la modiﬁcation au protocole de l’étudiant,
les dispositions quant au droit
de manifester sur le campus ont
changé. Comme l’explique au
Délit André Costopoulos, doyen
à la vie étudiante, les manifestations sont tolérées sur le campus
à moins qu’il y ait obstruction
d’une entrée ou d’une porte. À
partir de ce moment, McGill se
donne le droit d’intervenir.
Toutefois, comme Michelle
Hartman, professeure de littérature arabe à McGill l’explique, la
présence policière sur les campus et la surveillance découragent les étudiants à se mobiliser
et amènent un climat de peur sur
le campus. Elle croit que c’est
évident que les actions à saveur
politique sont visées par l’administration de McGill, surtout
depuis l’adoption du protocole.
Michelle est l’une des six professeurs de McGill qui a signé
la lettre il y a deux semaines qui
demande la démission de Marc
Parent et de Ian Lafrenière, respectivement directeur du Service
de police de la Ville de Montréal
(SPVM) et porte-parole du
SPVM. Cette lettre a été signée
par 120 personnes suite à l’arrestation de masse qui a eu lieu le
15 mars lors de la traditionnelle
manifestation contre la brutalité
policière.

«

Après deux avertissements, c’est clair qu’il
faut faire appel à de
l’autorité externe.»
Quand la police réplique
Au cours du dernier mois,
à deux reprises, le SPVM a été
appelé par McGill. En effet, un
message adressé aux étudiants
mcgillois informait que des policiers pourraient intervenir sur le
campus lors de la Saint-Patrick.
Aussi, la police a été appelée
pour disperser le petit groupe qui
manifestait en face des laboratoires lors de l’action organisée par
demilitarize McGill contre la recherche sur les drones de guerre.
«Ça, ça fait parti de la réponse normale de l’Université
quand il y a obstruction […]

Après deux avertissements, c’est
clair qu’il faut faire appel à de
l’autorité externe», dit André
Costopoulos . Il explique que
si la manifestation avait eu lieu
sans obstruction, il n’y aurait
pas eu de problèmes. «Des interventions policières, on en a assez
souvent», dans les résidences
aussi, mentionne-t-il. «Il y a un
taux assez constant du nombre
d’interventions par session».
André
Costopoulos
dit
toutefois que «dans le cas de la
Saint-Patrick, McGill n’a pas fait
appel à la police», mais que c’est
normal d’avoir une relation avec
eux dans le cadre de cette fête
car ils doivent veiller à la sécurité
dans la communauté de MiltonParc. «S’ils veulent patrouiller
sur le campus, on ne peut pas les
en empêcher [...] mais ce n’est
pas nécessairement parce qu’on
leur a demandé d’intervenir»,
dit-il.
«Du point de vue de l’Université, manifester ce n’est jamais un problème. La liberté
d’expression, la liberté d’assemblée à l’Université c’est fondamental comme droit […] Ce
n’est d’ailleurs pas limité par le
code de conduite de l’étudiant».
Cette intervention de la police est-elle souhaitable sur un
campus universitaire?
André Costopoulos affirme
que souvent, McGill n’a pas de
contrôle sur l’intervention de la
police sur le campus. Lorsque
c’est l’Université toutefois qui
le demande, la police peut intervenir dans les cas où il y a obstruction.
Michelle Hartman croit
qu’il y a trop d’interventions
policières sur le campus, comme
à Montréal en général. «Ça fait
à peine deux ans que la police
est venue sur le campus, a défait
une occupation, et a battu des
étudiants». Elle est préoccupée
par le fait qu’appeler la police
pour terminer les manifestations
ne fasse que dissuader les étudiants de manifester. «Je ne vois
pas pourquoi on doit avoir des
policiers qui viennent mettre ﬁn
aux manifestations étudiantes.
C’est quelque chose que je n’approuve pas».
Suzanne Fortier dit que les
étudiants ont le droit de manifester de manière paciﬁque, mais
qu’ils n’ont pas le droit de nier
les droits d’autrui. Elle dit que
les étudiants ont été avisés qu’ils
devraient quitter les lieux, mais
qu’ils ne l’ont pas fait, et qu’à ce
moment là la police a été appelée. «C’est des questions difﬁciles. […] Je crois à la liberté d’expression, c’est un droit fondamental», dit-elle. «Est-ce qu’on
aime ça appeler la police? Non,
pas du tout! Mais il faut penser
aux étudiants qui voient leur
droit d’accès dénié» conclut-elle.

Souriez, vous êtes ﬁlmés
À McGill, les caméras sont
organisées dans un système de
réseau fermé, administré par
les services de sécurité de l’université. Le protocole de McGill
sur les caméras stipule que les
caméras sont utilisées dans une
optique de sécurité de la communauté de McGill.
Toutefois, Michelle Hartman
se questionne: «Voulons-nous
vivre dans une société où nous
sommes surveillés par qui, pourquoi, pour quelles raisons? Je ne
crois pas».
André Costopoulos dit qu’à
McGill, il n’y a pas eu d’augmentation du nombre de caméras de
sécurité. «Tout est dans l’application des outils [de sécurité qui
peuvent devenir des outils de
surveillance]. Il faut s’assurer que
l’administration se sert des outils
de la bonne façon».
André Costopoulous ne sait
toutefois pas s’il y a une politique par rapport à l’utilisation des
caméras.
Et est-ce que ces caméras
sont parfois utilisées comme
preuve contre les étudiants?
En réponse à cela, André
Costopoulos dit que «s’il y a
une allégation relative au code
de conduite étudiante, n’importe
quelle preuve peut être amenée
par l’équipe disciplinaire par rapport à ça. […] Le comité décidera
si c’est une preuve valable».

«

Ils savent qui sont les
étudiants, ils savent quel
est votre nom, où vous
allez [...] Il y a ce genre
de détails dans les rapports.»

votre nom, où vous allez […] Il y
a ce genre de détails dans les rapports». Elle croit qu’il faut vraiment se questionner sur la place
des caméras au sein de McGill.
Antoine S. Christin, un étudiant de l’Université de Montréal,
avait demandé en 2012 à l’Université McGill de lui fournir des enregistrements vidéos car il s’était
fait arrêté par le Service de police
de Montréal en face du portail de
l’Université. L’étudiant aurait eu
besoin de cette preuve pour justiﬁer une arrestation abusive faite à
son égard par le policier Dominic
Chartier lors d’une manifestation
dans le cadre de la grève étudiante. La responsable de la sécurité
de McGill avait alors refusé de lui
donner les enregistrements, en
spéciﬁant que cette information
ne pouvait lui être fournie parce
qu’exclusive aux policiers ou au
corps de justice.
Est-ce que les caméras de
surveillances sont donc vraiment un moyen efﬁcace d’assurer la sécurité des gens observés?
Michelle Hartman dit qu’elle ne
se sent pas plus en sécurité parce
qu’il y a des caméras de sécurité.
André Costopoulos dit que
«À l’Université, on peut et on
doit tout questionner. Donc si
quelqu’un veut apporter une
question au Sénat ou dans un des
corps administratifs à McGill, il
devrait le faire, et puis il va y avoir
réponse à la question, c’est pas un
problème».
À l’UQAM, cela fait maintenant presque deux ans que les
étudiants se mobilisent contre la
présence de caméras au sein de
l’Université. Simon Larochelle,

exécutant sur l’association étudiante de science politique et
droit, explique au Délit que ce
n’est pas nouveau qu’il y ait des
caméras à l’UQAM, cela fait depuis les années 1990 qu’on en
retrouve. Toutefois, c’est récemment, suite à la grève étudiante en
2012, que le café Aquin et ses corridors avoisinants se sont vus fermer, des endroits reconnus pour
abriter des étudiants et des associations politiquement engagés.
«C’est là qu’on a vu le nombre de
nouvelles caméras de surveillance
augmenter», «elles ont été installées dans le périmètre, à l’extérieur
de celui-ci et un peu partout dans
l’UQAM». C’est à ce moment
qu’une campagne contre les caméras de sécurité s’est entamée.
«On a fait face vraiment à une offensive de l’UQAM», poursuit-il.
À l’UQAM, on ne voit plus
cela comme des caméras de «sécurité» mais carrément comme
des caméras de «surveillance»,
explique Simon. Les étudiants se
sentent plutôt surveillés, voire espionnés, car ça empiète sur la protection de leur vie privée. «C’est
une façon détournée de surveiller
et de dissuader l’activité politique
et syndicale étudiante», explique Simon. En effet, les caméras
ont été placées stratégiquement.
L’administration a le plein pouvoir sur ce qui est recueilli par les
caméras, et il n’y a pas de politique
de gestion de ces caméras. «Le
service de sécurité de l’UQAM a
aussi la possibilité d’installer des
caméras cachées, sans devoir rendre des comptes à ce sujet», poursuit-il. Le débat entre sécurité et
éthique n’est donc pas résolu. x

Michelle Hartman ne comprend pas pourquoi il doit y avoir
des caméras sur le campus. Elle
dit que les caméras sont utilisées
par les gardes de sécurité pour
ﬁlmer les étudiants et d’autres
personnes lors des manifestations et qu’ils en rédigent ensuite des rapports. «J’ai vu les
rapports qui relatent ce que les
étudiants font sur le campus. Ce
n’est pas une question, c’est un
fait [que McGill surveille les étudiants, les professeurs et d’autre
personnes]», dit-elle. «Il y a des
étudiants qui ont eu des charges
disciplinaires portées contre eux,
et ce sont des preuves vidéos qui
ont été utilisées contre ces personnes […] Il y a des exemples
[…] qui étaient dans le rapport
de sécurité: ‘’l’étudiant X était
avec l’étudiant Y et faisait telle
chose. Et ce n’est pas seulement
l’étudiant X dont on parle, mais
toutes ces autres personnes impliquées». «Ils savent qui sont
les étudiants, ils savent quel est

Les occupants publient leurs vidéos
La qualité n’est pas claire, mais la scène est
violente.

Capture d’écean de la vidéo des 14 occupants

Anthony Lecossois
Le Délit

L

es 14 occupants du 5e étage ont décidé de donner à
la presse deux des vidéos
qu’ils ont prises durant l’occupation du bureau de la principale.
La qualité est exécrable et il est
difﬁcile de distinguer les personnes, certains éléments ressortent
cependant.

La scène commence dans
le bureau de la principale.
Une employée de la sécurité
s’adresse à la personne tenant
la caméra: «You need to leave. You
need to leave because I’m gonna be
calling the police.» L’occupant
répond «OK, call the police but
please do it peace…» Il n’a pas le
temps de terminer sa phrase.
Un autre agent arrive de derrière la première employée et la
caméra commence à trembler
violemment. Quelqu’un s’écrie
«Guys!». L’occupant se retrouve
en une fraction de seconde à
genoux, à l’extérieur du bureau.
«Get up!», l’étudiant répond «I
have osteoporosis», une autre personne, qui semble être celle qui
est à terre s’écrie «He has osteoporosis, don’t fucking touch him.»
Puis on entend avec insistence:
«Walk with me, walk with me!»
Une analyse image par
image montre une personne
habillée en bleu traînant au sol

une autre personne. Les occupants expliquent: «Il s’agit des
manteaux bleus de la sécurité.
Un employé est en train de traîner l’un d’entre nous au sol.»
Une autre vidéo montre
Susan Aberman, chef de cabinet
de Heather Munroe-Blum en
pourparlers avec les occupants.
Elle interroge: «You think occupying is going to do something?»
Elle propose aux occupants de
s’asseoir et de discuter. Dans
leur lettre au Délit, les occupants contestaient le fait que
les employées présentes étaient
effrayées. En réponse, huit employées de l’administration ont
écrit une lettre intitulée «McGill
c’est nous aussi» (voir page 4).
En réaction à la publication
des vidéos, Susan Aberman explique: «Il y a eu des cris avant
[le moment que l’on voit sur la
vidéo]. Mon but était à ce moment-là d’essayer de désamorcer la situation et d’initier un

Sécurité sur le campus

L’abécédaire du changement de main dans la sous-traitance des services de sécurité à McGill.
Francis L. Racine
Emma Ailinn Hautecoeur
Le Délit

L

e bureau canadien d’investigation et d’ajustement
(BCIA) était, jusqu’à tout
récemment, l’agence en charge de
la sécurité sur le campus de l’Université McGill. Cette importante
agence avait remporté l’appel d’offres quelques années auparavant et
s’est vu conﬁé cette tâche colossale
jusqu’en 2012. Pourtant, l’entente
des services de sécurité de l’université avec BCIA s’est écourtée
abruptement en mai dernier.
Les derniers mois d’avril et de
mai ont été très difﬁciles pour cette ﬁrme. Elle a dû jongler avec des
investissements de quatre Fonds
d’intervention economiques régionaux (FIER) autorisés par
Investissement Québec dans ses ﬁnances. BCIA a aussi été éclaboussée par les relations entretenues de
son directeur, Luigi Coretti avec
l’ex-ministre libéral Tony Tomassi.
Cependant, en entrevue avec Le
Délit, le directeur associé des services de sécurité de McGill, Pierre
Barbarie soutient que la rupture

de contrat avec BCIA n’était pas
lié aux allégations faites contre
l’entreprise.
Après s’être placé sous la Loi
sur la protection des créanciers, le
30 avril 2010, BCIA n’a su attirer
des créanciers prêts à relancer la
compagnie. Aucune proposition
concordataire ne fut mise sur la
table, et BCIA a failli le 27 mai. Le
personnel qui était affecté à la sécurité et à la gestion du territoire
de l’université était directement
affecté: salaires impayés, communication manquante avec leur employeur, entre autres. Comme le
laisse entendre Monsieur Barbarie,
la ﬁn du contrat «concorde avec la
faillite de BCIA. Nous avions plusieurs problèmes avec eux, notamment des services non rendus».
À la lumière de ces éléments,
l’Université McGill a décidé de
conﬁer le mandat à la ﬁrme suédoise Securitas. Selon le directeur de la sécurité, le changement
s’est effectué avant la déclaration
ofﬁcielle de faillite de BCIA, soit
le 12 mai 2010. Il témoigne que
l’université n’a pas été très affectée par ce changement. «Les
contractuels affectés à la sécurité

l’université n’a enregistré aucune
perte dans cette affaire: «on payait
les factures seulement une fois le
service rendu». De manière générale, les gardiens ont accueilli
favorablement ce changement
d’employeur et étaient ravis de
garder leur emploi, en partie
parce qu’ils ont été spécialement
formés pour travailler sur le site
de l’université.
L’Université McGill n’est pas
la seule à avoir subi les contrecoups de cette faillite. L’Agence
métropolitaine de transport, la
Société des alcools du Québec, la
Commission scolaire de Montréal
et le Service de police de la Ville
de Montréal comptaient également parmi les clients de BCIA.
Securitas compte plus de 260
000 employés à travers le monde
et 150 ans d’expérience. Espérons
qu’elle sera plus à même de surmonter les obstacles. x

Administration denies unfair profiling
Muslim Students’ Association calls for apology
Stephen Davis

The McGill Daily

A

n email regarding security
at club events has some students accusing administrators of prejudice, SSMU execs calling for a reformed policy on room
bookings, and the administration
insisting the whole thing was a misunderstanding.
In an email sent on February
2, McGill events administrator
Debbie Yacoulis asked SSMU VP
(Clubs and Services) Sarah Olle to
provide advance warning of any
events held by QPIRG, Solidarity
for Palestinian Human Rights
(SPHR), and the Muslim Students’
Association
(MSA).
Yacoulis
claimed that extra time was needed to grant these groups security
clearance for their events.
Olle forwarded the email to
members of the three organizations
mentioned. The message came as a
surprise to the MSA. The group is
currently drafting a request for a
formal apology.
“Our events are never controversial and we never have problems.
Most of our events are [attended
by] Muslims coming for more
knowledge,” said Anais Massot, VP
(External) for the MSA.
Massot has been with the MSA
for three years and could not recall
any group events where extra security was needed.
Deputy Provost (Student Life
and Learning) Morton Mendelson
explained that the email did not
reflect University policy, which
mandates that security needs are
to be determined on an event-byevent basis
“I don’t see it as being an
issue; I see it as being a mistake,”
Mendelson said.
Yacoulis emailed Olle after learning that the MSA planned to host a
lecture entitled “The Essentials of
Islamic Knowledge and Practice.”

Olle is familiar with the
University’s event-by-event policy and said that the email from
Yacoulis was confusing.
“It’s always been on a per event
basis, which I think is a good system because you can’t assume that
just because a group is a certain
group, its events will be a certain
way,” Olle said.
Jim Nicell, McGill’s Associate
Vice-Principal (University Services),
echoed Mendelson’s statement,
reaffirming the University’s per
event security policy.
“The message that was delivered
was incorrect and did not represent in any way the position of this
University in the way that we deal
with events,” Nicell said.
Khaled
Kteily,
SPHR
VP
(Membership and Development)
believed the three groups were
singled out because of their pro-Palestinian stances on the Arab-Israeli
conflict.
“The only commonality that I
can see here is that these [three]
organizations are supportive of the
Palestinians,” Kteily said.
Massot saw a similar trend.
“SPHR is pro-Palestinian, QPIRG
does a lot of events that are [proPalestinian]…and we’re Muslim, so
I guess we fall into that category as
well,” she said.
Anna Malla, QPIRG’s internal
coordinator, was upset but not particularly surprised upon reading
the email.
“I know that we do get profiled
to a certain degree, but the degree
to which this is a situation of actual
racial profiling of speakers really
shocked me. They specifically have
been flagging events that have
Palestinian speakers,” Malla said.
Rebecca Dooley, VP (University
Affairs) indicated that other groups
have been profiled by the administration. Dooley described a
“human tunnel” of security guards
at the Senate meeting where the
university’s research policy was

The administration is calling the email a misunderstanding, but students aren’t convinced.
discussed. The issue attracted students opposed to military research
on campus. Dooley said the
increased security presence was
likely brought in to restrain these
students.
“They weren’t violent, but it was
just assumed that students with
that sort of opinion were going to
be aggressive, and violent, and disruptive,” Dooley said.
When security is required at
events, the club must cover the
additional costs.
Kteily said this was an unfair
burden to place on clubs.
“If they are going to mandate additional security guards,
the very least that could be done
is that McGill cover these costs.

Realistically, we are dealing with a
budget that is stretched to the limits,” Kteily said.
Nicell stood by the University’s
policy.
“At a certain point, if there’s no
subsidies available for carrying out
those events, it’s going to have to be
carried by the group itself,” Nicell
said.
For Olle, the initial email points
to problems with the University’s
policy that extend beyond the
cost of security. Olle explained
that since policies are developed
by high-ranking administrators,
the actual regulations are not
always communicated effectively
to the people who help clubs book
events.

For instance, Olle also mentioned an email she received from
an administrative assistant who
referred to Choose Life as “Abortion
McGill.”
Olle said she sees this as indicative of inadequate knowledge of
clubs among lower-level administrators.
“The knowledge trickle-down
about what’s happening gets very
convoluted when it gets to those
lower levels,” Olle said. “I hope
that this does continue to push the
University to come up with a more
comprehensive, clear policy about
events on campus…because I just
think this is just another example to
show that what they’re doing right
now doesn’t work.”

Lighting to make McGill's nooks and cramnies safer
by Joyce Lombardi
McGill's dark and silent campus is becoming brighter and safer.
Recognizing that McGill is in
themiddleofahardcorewbanarea,
the Physical Plant is implementing
new safety measures on campus.
Many of these were recommended
by the Sub-Committee on Safety, a
group organized by the Senate
Committee on Women.
Concerned primarily with sexual assault, the Sub-Committee recently submitted a survey of campus danger zones to Physical Plant
officials.
The Sub-Committee prepared
the survey after a campus wide
walking tour this October.
Although Sub-Commituee
Chair Rhonda Amsel note&lt;lsignifi-.
cant improvements in lighting
conditions in the last three years,
she said there are still potentially
dangerous dark areas near the
dorms.
Upon submitting their requests,
the Commiuee learned that campus security had already begun implementing their own safety meas-

ures.

featwes of campus safety is foot
patrol in the buildings.
"We've ways had security on
the grounds, but now we will have
regular patrols of the buildings and
tunnels," said Associate VP Physical Resources Sam Kingdon.
The officers will monitor build·
ings during the weekdays and night,
as well as those open on Saturdays.
Roy Dalebozik, director of the
Physical Plant, said campus emergency phones will be installed. For
now, the number for emergency
calls on campus is 398-3000.
Already, Physical Plant has
caged off niches in the Stewart/
Maclntyre tunnel, and halogen
lights have been installed in Leacock.
Similarsafety recommendations
were made three years ago by the
Sub-Committee.
Amsel said she hopes safety reports will be made on an annual
basis.
"It is important to keep the issue
of sexual assault at the fore. Unfortunately it often gets ignored," she
said.

"We were happy to find that
McGill officials refused to dismany of our requests had already close statistics on sexual assault on

Students bash
it out over
Lake Meech
by Stephane St-Ooge
It's sink or swim for Meech
Lake, and McGill students thrashed
away live on TV while watching it
drown.
Students debated the Meech
Lake Accord in .an open forum at a
packed McGill Law Faculty's Moot
Court in Chancellor Day Hall last
Monday evening. The debate was
part of a special one-and-a-half
hour CBC "Newswatch" telecast
Over 200 students who showed
up to be seen on TV listened to
Anchor DennisTrudeau 'sjokes before he moderated the discussion
between students and a panel of
politicians.
The panel included SergeJoyal,
who served as a cabinet minister
under Pierre Trudeau, and Parti
QucbCcois candidate David Cliche
-defeated in lastNovember's provincial elections- supporting the
Accord,
and
former
Alliance-Qucbec chair Peter Blaikie, opposed to the Accord.
"The majority of Qucbecers do
not know what Meech Lake is all
about," one student said.
The Meech Lake Accord proposes to amend the Constitution
Act, 1982. It will expire in June
1990 unless it is ratified by all the
provinces.
The Accord recognizes Quebec
as a distinct society, so the prov-

ince will remain in Confederation.
It also allows provinces to submit
lists of nominees to the Senate and
the Supreme Coun of Canada.
Provinces can also negotiate immigration quotas with the federal government and the federal government will compensate provinces
not participating in shared-cost
programs.
One student called for a referendum on Mcech Lake, as "there are
eleven ministers deciding and not
25 million people deciding."
Blakie agreed with this student,
accusing the federal and provincial
governments of using "elite accomodation" to pass the Accord.
Other students argued the Accord ignores the rights of aboriginal people and of women.
Some participants were worried
the failure of the Accord would
spell the end of Canada.
"We will have a friendly divorce and that will be that," one
student said.
Cliche said Qucbecers "have to
define what the
of the 90's
is all about."
One student said there is a "high
rate of assimilation" of French
Qucbecers by English Canadians.
"This will fwther it more," the
student said. "The government is
saying, 'you are delicate, so we
will make you special.' This is an
insult to Qucbecers."

"The assaults on campus are
