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.” Teach English Abroad TESOL/TESL Teacher Training Certification Courses • Intensive 60-Hour Program • Classroom Management Techniques • Detailed Lesson Planning • ESL Skills Development • Comprehensive Teaching Materials • Interactive Teaching Practicum • Internationally Recognized Certificate • Teacher Placement Service • Money-Back Guarantee Included • Thousands of Satisfied Students OXFORD SEMINARS 1-800-269-6719/416-924-3240 www.oxfordseminars.ca 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 Jerry Gu | The McGill Daily 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. ������������������� ������������������� �������������� �������������� ���������������������������������� ���������������������������������� �������������������������������������� �������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������� ����������������������������� ������������������������� � Info sessions will cover the following topics: ~ The best time to look for an apartment ~ When, Where and How to look for an apartment ~ Apartment sizes, costs, resources ~ Québec lease laws ~ Application forms, leases, sublets & lease transfers ~ What to do if you have problems with your landlord/roommate ~ Refusing rent increases Brought to you by McGill Off Campus Housing office 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.” News meetings Mondays @ 4:30 Shatner Cafeteria BE THERE � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mone vandal wrote in the Redpath Library washroom. "I demand that we get separate water fountains from the fucking nigs at this school," read another anonymous comment. "Gay fags should be defaga­ sized," another vandal scrawled on campus. These are but a few examples of the racist, homophobic, and hate­ oriented graffiti recently found in men's washrooms across campus. With the vandalism and attempted break-in of Queer McGill's office during reading week, such public obscenities have come under renewed scrutiny in the McGill community. An informal survey revealed Blacks, Muslims, queers, and Jews to be the primary target of campus graffiti. Facilities Management Director of Operations Andre Aylwin acknowledged the graffiti problem at McGill. " "Anti-Islam graffiti can never be ajoke, because many people do have racist and xenophobic ideas in their minds about Islam." "We have graffiti some places on campus; the washroom is a popular place to make graffiti," Aylwin said. "In public wash­ rooms, these things happen. ·u we find some that is particularly offensive toward a particular group of people, we try to remove it as soon as possible." Aylwin noted that cleaning graf­ fiti can sometimes cost hundreds of dollars, if paint has been damaged. But with universities !YPically viewed as pluralistic and tolerant communities, many are having dif­ ficulty understanding the phenom­ enon of hateful graffiti on campus. Sociology Professor Morton Weinfeld suggested thar such wash­ room hate-posts can be explained by the fact that their authors face no consequences. "Racist students graffiti in the bathroom because it's safe; it's anonymous. That's one attraction: , YOu can express [your beliefs] Without being caught," he explained. .. Also, some [rai;ist graffiti] are attempts at humour," he said. Students But Muslim Association President Isam Faik argues that anti-Islam graffiti is motivated by hate. "Especially [anti-Islam graffiti] can never be a joke, because many people do have racist and xeno­ phobic ideas in their minds about Islam.... September 11 has been especially detrimental to society's view of Muslims," he said. Aylwin suggests that graffiti rates at McGill have not increased in the last year. "Because of my job, I visit many buildings. I use a lot of washrooms, and I haven't noticed any differ­ ence between this year and last year," Aylwin said. Bue racism might be on the rise outside McGill, Weinfeld nOted. "In The Gazette today, Uewish Brich organisation] B'nai announced a 60 per cent rise in anti-Semitic actions in Canada this year," he said. Weinfeld feels that levels of racism at McGill are hard to appraise accurately. .. One racist at McGill is too many," he said, "On the other hand, racism is Very hard to meas­ ure. One should ask minorities what they feel about life at McGill. Do they feel welcome at McGill by other students and faculty?" Faik cautiously said that Islamic people may feel uncomfortable sometimes, but he thinks it is important not to ove�-simplify the situation. "This is not something that we can generalise," he warned, but conceded that, "to an extent, Canada is in a better position com­ pared to the United States. On the other hand, many people are racist against Muslims. "Muslim women, who are more · visible, sometimes feel uncomfort­ able, but seCond-generation Muslims who were born in Canada and have lived with the people here all their lives feel very comfort­ able," Faik added. Queer McGill Administrator Markella Georgiadis feels that some queers might be uncomfort­ able, but they have not come for­ ward. "I think that experiences vary from person to person," Georgiadis said. "To my knowl­ edge, no one has come to us and complained about being uncom­ fortable." "In general, McGill is a queer­ friendly campus, although recent events have given me some cause for concern," Georgiadis added, referring to recent incidences of homophobic vandalism at McGill, including· the defacement and attempted break-in of the Queer McGill office over reading week. The SSMU Equity Commissioner Brianna Hersey thinks that while the vandals are in the min<?rity, they do affect the entire student body. "If these actions are happening on campus, it is students who write the graffiti and it's students who read the graffiti," she said. "I want to come to an understanding as to how this affects our peers, and help fix it. Public education is key to fix: ing this problem." Earlier this year, Hersey and a team of volunteers organised a Campus Equity week to help edu­ cate McGill students in pluralism, but she said it is unlikely that a similar event will happen again this year. ''Equity Week took a very big investment of time and energy," she said. "We wouldn't do that­ again until nex; year, but if there is a need for smaller events to take place co foster an open dialogue, I'd consider it."

Au conseil administratif de l’AÉFA, le VP événements Josh Greenberg s’estime satisfait des retombées du Frosh sur les relations publiques, même si la police a été très présente dans le ghetto. Plusieurs raisons peuvent expliquer l’augmentation de la popularité de ces propositions parallèles. De plus les Frosh alternatifs sont Musulman Student Association Alors que la semaine d’intégration se finit à McGill, on enregistre plusieurs changements. Le Frosh est traditionnellement une série d’événements plus ou moins alcoolisés qui permettent aux nouveaux étudiants de se retrouver dans leur faculté et de rencontrer d’autres McGillois. Cette année, les Frosh des Facultés se sont associés au Frosh de l’AÉUM de sorte que les événements organisés par l’AÉUM alternaient avec ceux des facultés. Alors que les organisateurs essayent manifestement de faire en sorte que la cohésion des froshies soit plus importante, on assiste en même temps au bourgeonnement de multiples Frosh alternatifs, notamment des Frosh religieux. Tout d’abord, même si les Frosh des Facultés essayent de s’éloigner tant bien que mal de leur tradition de la boisson, une ambiance hypersexualisée et alcoolisée existe réellement, ce qui chif fonne certains éléments du campus. Du coup, la vie mcgilloise se scinde en deux: ceux qui tolèrent ou adhèrent à cette idée et ceux qui l’exècrent. Les leaders étaient prévenus qu’aucune chanson paillarde ou nom vulgaire inscrit sur les tee-shirts ne serait toléré. Pourtant, dès le deuxième jour, les coordonnateurs de l’organisation du Frosh de la Faculté des Arts ont dû rappeler les consignes par courriel. «Si vos froshies ont des messages grossiers sur leurs tee-shirts, veuillez leur demander de les porter à l’envers». Justine Perrot, la coordonnatrice externe de ce même Frosh, a rappelé: «Il faut que l’administration et la communauté environnante soient un tant soit peu contentes afin de ne pas détruire le Frosh pour les années à venir». beaucoup moins chers: 60 dollars pour Rad Frosh, 35 dollars pour le Frosh musulman et jusqu’à 20 dollars pour le Fish Frosh. Une broutille comparée aux 140 dollars demandés pour participer au Arts Frosh. Enfin, les nouveaux venus se retrouvent en plus petits groupes, ce qui est moins intimidant par rapport aux milliers de participants qu’accueillent les Frosh mainstream. En fin de compte, c’est sûr: ces Frosh alternatifs sont attirants, conviennent mieux aux besoins de certains et permettent à chacun de se sentir à l’aise. Mais s’il est clair qu’il est rassurant au sortir du secondaire de se retrouver avec des gens qui partagent le même passé, x le délit · le mardi 11 septembre 2012 · delitfrancais.com est-ce là le but de l’université? De rester confiné dans ses propres idées? Le Rad Frosh est un événement organisé par le GRIP-McGill, mais les froshies ne connaissent pas nécessairement les opinions politiques du groupe de recherche, celles-ci n’étant pas affichées clairement dans leur invitation à l’événement. Est-ce que le fait de participer au Rad Frosh fait aveuglément adhérer le nouveau venu au mouvement sans qu’il ait accès aux opinions opposées? En fin de compte, au lieu d’être une semaine d’intégration à la communauté mcgilloise dans son ensemble, la semaine d’orientation est devenue l’occasion pour chacun de s’intégrer dans une communauté qui lui ressemble. Des Frosh plus près des valeurs de chacun et qui facilitent l’intégration des membres au sein de leur communauté, mais pas au sein de l’école. Alors que les organisateurs travaillent sur l’intégration individuelle, que dire des communautés de plus en plus isolées? Pour la première fois un Frosh pour la communauté juive, le Getilfe Frosh, est institutionnalisé. Genesis, une étudiante mexicaine qui a participé au Fish Frosh il y a deux ans, par tage son expérience: «Le Fish Frosh correspondait à ce que je voulais, mais les gens que j’ai rencontrés durant ces trois jours, je les aurais croisés de toutes façons à la messe. J’ai l’impression de ne pas connaître le McGillois moyen». De son côté, Nicolas, U3, confesse avoir participé aux soirées organisées par la FSC (French Student Community) lors de son entrée à l’université, et, depuis, ne côtoyer que des Français. Il témoigne: «J’ai tellement regretté de ne pas avoir rencontré d’anglophones en première année que j’ai été leader l’an- née d’après». D’autres universités, comme Concordia, proposent des Frosh moins importants, mais qui rassemblent leurs étudiants lors d’événements qui conviennent à la grande majorité, comme des concerts. De cette façon, tout le monde est rassemblé et a une occasion de se retrouver. Certains, comme Louis, en troisième année d’histoire, pensent qu’en faisant les activités proposées par le Frosh avec la résidence on obtient plus un sens de communauté. Victor, élève de quatrième année, confirme: «Les Frosh de Faculté, c’est normal mais la multiplication des Frosh alternatifs: ça, c’est de la vrai polarisation. Comme si on avait besoin de ça après les événements de l’an dernier». En fin de compte, ces nouveaux Frosh alternatifs permettent à un plus grand nombre d’étudiants de sentir qu’ils font partie d’une communauté, mais il faut se poser la question de la croissante polarisation du campus à laquelle on a assisté l’an dernier. On se rappelle les affrontements entre «carrés blancs», «rouges» et «verts»… Une politisation du campus est inévitable, et même souhaitable, mais une telle polarisation est dangereuse pour la cohabitation pacifique de toutes les communautés au sein de l’école. Si chaque nouvel arrivant se retrouve directement avec des gens partageant ses idéaux, n’y a-t-il a pas un risque d’extrémisation hâtive? Il faut leur laisser le temps de se faire des opinions avant de leur en inculquer. x Teresa Gerner Société 7 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Prayer is a means of communication with Allah, and also one of the important means that Muslim students rely on to cope with the demands of an exhausting university life. As a Muslim student at McGill, I have always longed for a proper prayer space on campus. When I arrived in Canada three years ago from 10 time zones away, I was shocked and disappointed to learn that the Muslim Students’ Association (MSA) had recently been evicted from its former space. Among the reasons the administration gave for the eviction was the idea that McGill is a secular institution and therefore not obligated to provide prayer space for any particular group on campus. Presently, a portion of the MSA office within the Shatner Building serves as a “temporary prayer corner.” However, the maximum capacity of the room is around 20 people, and I often have to wait outside as long as 15 minutes to find a spot. Many times, additional prayer services need to be held in order to accommodate all students who want to attend. Moreover, the present prayer space within Shatner is not accessible for prayers when the building is closed. In such circumstances, like other Muslim students, I anxiously search for a spot around campus where I can offer my prayers and connect with my Creator. These spots include places underneath stairways; various locations within the libraries, such as desolate corners and areas between secluded bookshelves; the grounds of Lower Field, weather permitting; and the basements of the McConnell Engineering and Lorne Trottier buildings. However, at these various makeshift praying areas, I cannot offer prayers with any devotion. It is hard to concentrate when there are people walking on the stairs above me, or when someone wants to get a book off the shelf that I happen to be praying next to. Many times, these places are not very clean – and “cleanliness of the place” is one of the prerequisites for prayer in Islam. Prayer involves kneeling and prostration on the floor. Therefore, I always hurry, lest someone should trip over me. Therefore, I am unable to garner any of the spiritual or mental satisfaction that Muslims seek from their daily prayers. For me, praying in such conditions transforms the act of prayer into a mere series of mechanical operations, devoid of any real connection with Allah. Many times, I have delayed or even missed prayers as a result of not being able to find a suitable location. At the end of the day, I lose out on an important tool that would otherwise provide me the strength and courage to deal with various problems (financial, academic, personal, et cetera). Muslim students across the campus share the same experience. My friend Obei El-Kurdy, U2 Mechanical Engineering, pointed out to me, “Praying is really a simple and enriching experience for a Muslim…. However, we need a proper space, as the current one in the Shatner Building is by far inadequate to the Muslim students’ needs.” Omar Balaa, U3 Civil Engineering, another friend, also stresses the importance of having a proper praying space. “Apart from fulfilling my obligations toward my Creator, it would help me focus Sally Lin | The McGill Daily on my studies, enhance my undergraduate experience, and allow me to contribute to the community in a much better way. I would basically be freed from this constant, nagging worry of having to figure out the next praying spot.” In the end, I pray and hope that the administration wakes up and addresses Muslim students’ needs. Campuses across North America have provided accommodation for Muslim students, so I fail to understand why McGill, world-renowned for its rich cultural and ethnic diversity, has to be an exception. Salman Hafeez is a U2 Mechanical Engineering student. Write him at salman.hafeez@mail.mcgill.ca. Burqas, hijabs, niqabs, oh my! Law 94 is veiled identity politics Aristotle’s lackey Sana Saeed I suppose it’s time to address the rather large and noisy elephant floating between the margins of Aristotle’s lackey. Law 94. Just last week, the National Assembly passed a law banning the niqab from such critical public spaces as universities, government offices, daycares, and hospitals receiving government funding. The support for the ban has been strong throughout Canada, with an 80 per cent approval rating according to a survey conducted by Angus Reid. Criticisms have been sparse, coming primarily from an unsure Muslim community, various lawyers, scattered academics, and select university papers. But the general discussion on this matter has just been a mess, with a near complete avoidance of the question of the role of identity in English-speaking Canada. Because this legislation is provin- cial, however, I will limit my discussion to the situation in Quebec. As mentioned briefly in an article last month by Sheetal Pathak (“Muslim women don’t need saving from themselves,” Commentary, March 18), the Canadian Muslim community is itself divided on this issue. Unlike the hijab, there’s no real consensus on the status of the niqab. A small minority see it as an obligation – or at the very least, the superior form of the modesty principle prescribed by Islam. While this debate is legitimate, it’s irrelevant to the issue at hand – the discussion on the matter within the Muslim community needs to move beyond the question of necessity. If there are women who believe it is their religious obligation to wear the niqab while living in North America, then that choice must be respected. The current brouhaha, framed by a reductionist debate on “choice,” grossly undermines women’s agency and completely overlooks the greater context of Law 94 and the persistence of a discourse ultimately not about gender equality, secularism, integration, or identification. It is about identity. And just as identity politics create a limiting framework for political discourse, identity politics can and often do create limiting platforms for legislation and issues regarding minority populations. In Politics of the Veil, Joan Wallach Scott provides a rather thorough survey of the 2004 French ban of “ostentatious” religious symbols – including the hijab – in public spaces. She emphasizes the relationship between France as a former colonial power and its current minority populations, and the consequences of this relationship for the 2004 ban. Scott argues that while France maintained colonial presence in Algeria, the veil came to signify both cultural and violent resistance against imperialism. France’s laïcité (roughly equivalent to secularism) and resistance to accepting the country’s changing reality allow for the unacknowledged persistence of the belief that the veil remains a symbol of cultural and violent resistance to assimilation. Quebec is not France. But like French identity, Quebec identity is built upon a shared linguistic and ethnic heritage as embodied by the historical interactions between church and state. This includes the near-total rejection of Catholicism during the Quiet Revolution. And like France, Quebec has seen a surge in its immigrant population, which challenges a system long sustained by the province’s homogeneity. It is without a doubt understandable that the majority of Quebeckers – outside Montreal especially – would fear the erosion of an identity with a tumultuous past. While this fear is comprehensible, it is not justified, and it certainly should not be the source for any law. With only a few dozen women in the province actually wearing the niqab, how much of a problem does the covering actually cause? France’s proposed ban on the burqa, recently judged unconstitutional by an advisory board, affected only 367 women out of five million Muslims. How necessary is a law for an exception – especially at the expense of appearing hostile to a significant and growing minority? What’s more, where exactly is the line drawn? There remains a strong movement in Quebec, which has at least some minimal support, to ban the adornment of any religious symbols – from kippas to hijabs – in public spaces. When does “reasonable” accommodation become “unreasonable”? Can there be an unreasonable demand if it’s made in the name of identity and ideology? All that being said, there is an often understated obligation upon the Muslim community itself, as with any other ethno-religious group, to sincerely engage with such issues and ask itself what is a “reasonable accommodation” to ask of the state. But this question and its implications are to be addressed and dealt with by the Muslim community itself, as with any other minority group. For many, a law that discriminates against an exception may not be really consequential to the “big picture” in a negative or a positive way. It is, however, crucial that we consider the sort of framework this persistent debate and this particular legislation create for future discussions on matters concerning minorities. But until we get to future debates, I’ll keep rocking the flashy and colourful scarves that my students seem to love. Sana Saeed will write once more in this space before disappearing.

One student asked how Dion plans to address the issue of climate change in the long term, given that the KyotoProtocol expires in 2012, and that scientists say that current emission targets are not nearly enough to curb the harmful impact of global warming.

In March 2003, the Centre ResearchAction on Race Relations filed a complaint on behalf of the Muslim Council of Montreal, demanding a prayer space on the campus of l'Ecole de technologie supérieure (Mrs). The complaint included a request for about $600,000in damages. A decision on the ETS case is expected soon, and will undoubtedly set a precedent for the CNR-CANand MSA complaint.

"If it were some sort of group thing, that would definitely be effective," he said. However, Elaina Zendegui, a UI Psychology student from the United Statß, said she would be unlikelyto get on board with a group lawsuit, explainingthat even though her tuition is deregulated,it is still much less than she would be paying at a comparable American university. McGill Principal Heather Munroe-Blum explained the rationalefor deregulated tuition in the fall of 2004, at the Quebec National Assembly Education Commission. "I think it's absolutelyfair that the big old universities like McGillthat have the capacity to attract market driven tuition fees from out- side of Quebec ought to be able to do that," she said at the time. Jennifer Robinson, McGill's Associate Vice- Principal (Communications) reiterated this External, said that although Bergman's position in an interview last week, saying that response to the question is "very interest- the deregulated tuition helps support and Ing,"he has yet to confirm that it is entitely recruit international students in a way that accurate, because Bergman (lid not examine would not otherwise be possible.
