Response to Statement of
Retraction
T

o the editorial board of The McGill Daily,

We are writing to you to express
discontent and disappointment regarding
the recent statement of retraction by the
Editorial Board. As loyal readers and
supporters of the Daily, we have recently
noticed a general pattern within the work put
out by your paper of a more liberal, watereddown version of the anti-oppressive politics
the Daily claims to uphold. The recent
statement of retraction regarding Professor
Ibrahim was the last straw.
We want and need the editorial board to
know that their statement reads as:
I. An apology to Ibrahim. The statement
literally closes by stating that the Daily
“apologizes to parties negatively affected
by such errors.”
II. Delegitimization of the allegations
and accusations lodged against Ibrahim.
Please do not try and explain the courage
it took to publish that article in the first
place. Please do not try to explain the
difference in language between accusation
and allegation, or the realities of being

legally charged with sexual assault. This
was not clearly communicated in your
statement, which ignored the multiplicity
of systemic barriers that so often prevent
abusers from being held accountable
through the judicial system.
We are uninterested in the legal liability
that the Daily faces in this situation – of
course, there is the risk of being seen as
slanderous. However, this does not justify
the complete and utter sloppiness of the
statement of retraction. A lawyer’s objective
will always be to serve the best interests of
their employer in a risk-averse way. It is
entirely unsurprising that their advice to
you on this matter would have erred on the
side of caution and conservatism. You should
have taken this advice into consideration,
and weighed it against both your knowledge
of the context at play here and your sense of
journalistic and moral integrity.
How likely is it that Ibrahim would have
further harmed his own reputation by following
through on his threat of legal action against
a small independent student newspaper,

already reported extensively on the allegations
against him? How likely is it that he would win
that case? As a supposedly anti-oppressive
publication, the onus is on the Daily to assess
the risks that they take with their values in
mind. In our opinion, your Editorial Board has
failed to do this in a meaningful way.
There are so, so many better ways you
could have gone about this. If this retraction
was made under legitimate legal duress, you
could have chosen to publish any threats
of legal action that the Daily received. You
could have consulted members of the McGill
community who were subject to threats
from Ibrahim as well (such as the SSMU).
You could have retracted the language, but
acknowledged that the lack of legal action
in no way delegitimizes or undermines the
years of allegations put forward against
Ibrahim. When you wrote “we apologize for
not using the correct wording in this article,”
in that context, it was not incorrect. An
accusation is an accusation.
Your statement of retraction is, frankly,
embarrassing. It is careless, thoughtless, and
makes the Daily less trustworthy than it has

ari
published was libellous insofar as no one has
legally accused Ibrahim, despite allegations
of sexual misconduct. We retracted the
statement to acknowledge that reality.
Nevertheless, removing Ibrahim’s name
from the article was a mistake on our part,
caused by insufficient consideration. A new
sentence has been reintegrated into the
article to correct that.
We do not support abusers. We do not
support those who take advantage of their
position of power to sexually abuse other
people. We do not support those who
intimidate survivors. We believe survivors.

ever been. Your publication used to speak
up against abusers in the face of legal risk
– what happened? At its core, this lawsuit
is about silencing those who speak against
sexual violence and the Daily has since had
an immense role in supporting these voices
and criticizing those abusing their power.
This retraction is ultimately adhering to the
demands of censorship to protect abusers, at
the expense of survivors.
The purpose of our statement is not to
taint or compromise the Daily’s reputation
– you are doing that just fine by yourselves.
Historically, marginalized students have
looked to the Daily to represent our
interests in a just and critical way, and we
are of the opinion that this is no longer
possible. Our letter was sent as concerned
members of the community who want to
urge the Daily’s Editorial Board to follow
their mandate of anti-oppression in a way
that stands up for marginalized students.
Signed,
An ad hoc collective of survivors and their allies

ati
We recognize the criticism raised
concerning our recent content. We work
to uphold The McGill Daily’s statement of
principles, which reflects our commitment
to help correct social and economic
injustices. That said, we realize that
anti-oppressive politics require constant
vigilance and we want to do better.
Accountability is integral to our work.
We apologize for the harm our statement
caused and we welcome further criticism.
If you wish to send us a letter, please consult our
letters policy at www.mcgilldaily.com/policies/.

DÉFINITIONS

C

onsentement

La définition du consentement utilisée
dans la Politique contre les violences sexuelles (Sexual Assault Policy, ndlr) de
McGill s’appuie sur la loi canadienne:
Le consentement est une décision affirmative de s’engager dans une activité sexuelle mutuellement voulue, donnée par
une formulation ou des actions claires.
Comme décrit dans le Code criminel du Canada,
le consentement ne peut être obtenu quand:
- L’accord est exprimé par les mots ou la conduite
d’une personne autre que le(la) plaignant(e)
- Le(la) plaignant(e) est incapable de consentir à l’activité
- L’accusé conseille ou incite le(la) plaignant(e)
à s’engager dans l’acte en abusant d’une position de confiance, de pouvoir ou d’autorité
- Le(la) plaignant(e) exprime, par des
paroles ou une conduite, un manque
d’accord d’engager dans l’acte; ou
- Le(la) plaignant(e) ayant consenti à engager
dans une activité sexuelle, exprime, par des
mots ou une conduite, un manque d’accord
de continuer à s’engager dans l’acte.

l’évolution de la situation mcgilloise
concernant LES AGRESSIONS SEXUELLES

A

gression sexuelle

C’est lorsque l’intégrité sexuelle de la victime est violée. Cet acte ne dépend donc pas
uniquement du contact avec une partie spécifique du corps de l’individu, mais davantage
de la mesure dans laquelle l’intégrité sexuelle de la personne est atteinte. Différents
facteurs sont importants à prendre en compte:
la partie du corps touchée, la nature du contact, le contexte dans lequel il a eu lieu, les
mots et les gestes qui l’ont accompagné etc.

QUELQUES CHIFFRES

E

n 2016, le gouvernement ontarien a donné
236 000 dollars canadiens à la professeure
Dawn Moore (Carleton University) aﬁn
qu’elle puisse mener une étude sur la violence
sexuelle sur les campus de la province (Radio
Canada).

Les statistiques disponibles à ce jour relativement aux agressions sexuelles sur les campus
universitaires sont disparates et lacunaires,
puisque peu d’étudiants reportent ces agressions.
Cependant, des tendances sont récurrentes dans
tous les sondages:

Plus de 700 agressions sexuelles ont été signalé
de 2009 à 2013 dans les universités et collèges
canadiens.

- Les femmes sont beaucoup plus
touchées que les hommes

Une femme sur 3 aura été victime d’au moins une
agression sexuelle depuis ses 16 ans au Québec
(2006).

- Une très petite minorité des victimes portent plainte
- Les personnes issues de la communauté LGBTQIA+ sont plus touchés par les agressions sexuelles
- Les étudiants en première année sont particulièrement atteints par les violences sexuelles,
surtout pendant les premiers mois de l’année.

�On attend de voir

«O

n attend de voir»,
s’il fallait trouver
une expression pour
résumer les réactions mitigées qu’a
provoquées en la communauté étudiante la première politique sur les
violences sexuelles proposée par
l’administration, celle-ci pourrait
faire l’a aire.
Le capital conﬁance dont
bénéﬁcie l’Université auprès des
associations étudiantes engagée
est au plus bas, conséquemment
à la politique de l’autruche adoptée par l’administration Fortier.
Plusieurs organisations actives et
travailleuses, telles Divest McGill
(Désinvestir McGill, ndlr) ou
Demilitarize McGill (Démilitariser
McGill, ndlr) ont rencontré dans
leurs e orts militants une attitude
dénigrante de la part des autorités
mcgilloises.
Ainsi, dans un communiqué
commun, publié uniquement en
anglais — comme l’ébauche de la
politique en question, mise en ligne
par McGill —, l’AÉUM et de l’AÉCSUM (Association des Étudiants
en Cycles Supérieurs de l’Université McGill, PGSS en anglais, ndlr)
expriment de nombreuses réserves
quant à la politique avancée par
l’administration.

Anonyme, U3
Littérature anglaise

- Une politique pour les survivants
- Le respect du survivant, de son intimité, des choix, de sa parole
- Pouvoir s’auto-identifier en tant que survivant: pas de définition catégorique
- La possibilité pour un survivant de prendre son temps, et se retirer à tout moment du processus
d’aide de l’université, pour y revenir plus tard, ou non
- Une consultation pour recueillir les avis et propositions de tous
- L’implémentation est prévue pour l’hiver prochain

Est saluée tout de même la
décision d’ouvrir une consultation
publique sur la politique à tous les
membres de la communauté mcgilloise, et le communiqué d’encourager d’encourager leurs étudiants
à soumettre leurs remarques et
propositions.

- Peu, si ce n’est aucune,de mesure concrète
- Quid des moyens? Des mots, pas de chiffres
- Il faudrait revoir et modifier les procédures existantes pour les adapter au cas particulier des
agressions sexuelles
- Attention à la présomption d’innocence, peut-on exclure du campus des perpétrateurs présumés et non avérés?
- S’inspire de la politique étudiante proposée en avril passée, fruit du travail sur plusieurs années
de bénévoles étudiants, sans en retenir certains points important ni en faire mention

À cette réaction fait écho celle
du Centre aux agressions sexuelles
de l’AÉUM (SACOMSS en anglais,
ndlr), qui porte de similaire critique quant au projet de l’administration. Dans une déclaration
publiée sur leur page facebook,
l’organisation partage ses peurs,
ne voulant pas une nouvelle fois
en «des mots vides venant d’une
Université qui préfère donner à son
image la priorité», plutôt qu’aux
survivants et leur bien-être. x

vant que la politique ne soit publiée,
j’ai une amie qui a
essayé de suivre le processus
concernant les violences
sexuelles à McGill. Elle a
remarqué que les «victimes»
étaient regardées de manière
dégradante parce qu’elles
avaient à raconter leur expérience à plusieurs personnes,
encore et encore. De surcroît,

ls doivent faire comprendre à tous qu’il y a de réelles conséquences, qu’il n’y
pas d’impunité. On voit dans de
nombreuses universités américaines que les agresseurs s’en
sortent indemnes. Sinon, il y a
un sentiment d’acceptation, ce
n’est qu’une fois qu’ils mettent
en place une telle politique que
certains y penseront à deux
fois avant d’agresser quelqu’un
sexuellement.

eu de mcgillois seront
au courant de cette
politique si personne
ne lit ses mails ou, du moins,
ne se contente que de les
survoler; il doit y avoir une
meilleure façon de communiquer avec les étudiants.
Le terme de survivant est
litigieux, il élève plutôt que
rabaisse, mais certains pensent que cette appellation
suppose qu’il y a un besoin

I

Points positifs

Les deux principales associations étudiantes mcgilloises, représentant plus de 30 000 étudiants
à elles deux, s’inquiètent de ce
document de travail qui «renforce
les limitations actuelles des pratiques universitaires en réponse aux
violences sexuelles». Toutes deux
châtient l’administration pour le
caractère vague de la politique, tant
en mesures concrètes que délais
raisonnables.

l’agresseur avait souvent des
mois de tranquillité avant
même d’être contacté. Avec
la nouvelle version il devrait
y avoir un plus grand respect
pour les survivants. Je suis
d’avis que la violence sexuelle à McGill ne devrait être
un tel tabou. Il n’est pas facile
de savoir si l’on a été attaqué
sexuellement si l’on n’a pas
été éduqué en résidence.
Il n’est pas évident pour
l’étudiant mcgillois moyen
de savoir quels sont les lieux
fournissant du support en cas
de violence sexuelle.

Points négatifs

Un problème de communication?
De cette nouvelle politique qui concerne tous et toutes peu sont au courant. Le Délit en a fait
l’expérience en vous questionnant à l’intersection «Y», et n’en trouvant que peu parmi vous ayant
connaissance de la politique en question, moins encore l’ayant lu. Envoyée par courriel à tous les
étudiants, il est désormais clair que ce n’est pas la plus efficace des méthodes.

’ai entendu parlé du cas
d’une étudiante ayant
eu une expérience de
violence sexuelle; ça ne s’était
pas produit à McGill mais
après coup elle avait eu du mal
à avoir accès au support dont
elle aurait eu besoin à McGill.
Je sais qu’il y a une refonte en
cours du système de support
à la santé mentale, parce que
l’université est consciente du
problème, et l’aide devient
de plus en plus accessible

d’être «réparé». Appeler
quelqu’un «survivant», c’est
lui dire «tu dois être réparé»,
comme la victime avait déjà
achevé d’intégrer ce qui lui
est arrivé. Certains ne sont
peut-être pas encore prêts
à se considérer comme survivants, ont besoin d’un peu
plus de temps. Beaucoup
de gens ne survivent pas
complètement à une agression sexuelle. Ce problème
d’appellation est compliqué,
«victime» est un terme brutal, mais il n’y en a pas de
parfait.

qu’elle essayait encore et
encore, sans réussir, qu’il était
presque impossible d’être
dirigé vers quelqu’un qui
l’aiderait au long-terme.

e suis également
d’avis qu’il ne faille
pas demander au
survivant s’il ou elle était
intoxiqué(e) ou habillé(e)
de manière inappropriée

Glossary

: :

avigating radical circles — in print,
on the internet, in casual
conversation — can often be
inaccessible. These discussions often
seem closed off to people not familiar
or experienced with the terminology.
To address this, the Daily is working
on a public glossary of terms used in

Glossary
:

anti-oppressive activism – including in
our pieces – to be available on our website
permanently. This glossary will be by no
means exhaustive, but we hope to help
make our articles easier to understand for
everyone. The definitions included won’t
and can’t be perfect and the glossary
will continue to evolve as our language

Zionism
A modern political movement advocating for the
colonial establishment of a Jewish state in the
biblical land of Israel. Zionism’s ideological roots
can be traced to the nationalist and European
colonial movements of the 19th century. Two-thirds
of the Palestinian populace were displaced in the
war that led to the creation of the State of Israel
in 1948. Zionism has come to represent a racist
attitude and violent practice towards Palestinians
that recognizes only Israeli/Jewish hegemony
and legitimacy to self-determination in
Palestine. (For more depth and historical
context, The Daily recommends visiting
the website of the BDS movement.)

does. We encourage you to use our
definitions as a tool to read the Daily and
hopefully better navigate challenging but
important conversations.
As we work on creating an inclusive
and helpful glossary, we invite your
input and your questions! Because it
will be a public and changing document,

:

Gentrification
The process by which lower or middle income
neighbourhoods are appropriated by higher income
populations, usually resulting in the displacement
of immigrant and low-income residents. Signs
of gentrification include rent hikes, increasing
police presence, the use of euphemistic terms
such as “redevelopment” by real estate agencies
that cover for the expulsion of long-time tenants,
and the opening of shops catering to a higherincome class, amongst others.

Sex work
Sex work refers to any labour
within the sex industry. The term
“sex worker” is used instead
of “prostitute” as it carries less
stigma, and recognizes that sex
work is legitimate work.

Heteronormativity

Racialization

The structural idea that all people fit into the
gender binary and that heterosexuality is the
default sexual orientation. It also assumes
that men and women have specific and
separate roles within romantic partnerships
and even socially. This is often supported
by political biases, e.g. restricting marriage
and its economic benefits to heterosexuals,
safety in public as a heterosexual couple due
to heteronormativity, etc. Heteronormativity
is coercively upheld by state institutions.

we invite you to fill out the submission
form at www.mcgilldaily.com/glossary if
there are any terms you’d like to see
clarified and included in the document.
This form will stay open indefinitely for
corrections and further submissions.
Thank you for helping us make activism
more approachable!

The process of ascribing racial identities to a group,
with social, political, cultural, and/or economic
consequences of privilege and marginalization. In
contemporary North America, racialization is a
product of white supremacy, with the purpose of
continued domination. Racial groups sometimes
come to identify with the identity imposed by this
domination, out of pride in their background or
for other reasons, and thus, that racial identity
becomes a self-ascribed characteristic.

Capitalism
A political and economic system wherein the
workers do not own the means of production and
are isolated from the results of their labour.

:

8

Person-first language
The practice of writing “person with disabilities,”
as opposed to “disabled person.” Many find the
convention of writing “disabled person” to be
disrespectful, since it grammatically positions
the disability as primary to the person. Pay
attention to whether someone identifies as a
person with disabilities or a disabled person
and avoid labeling someone otherwise than how
they choose to. Sometimes, people prefer to be
referred to as a “disabled person,” because the
outside environment actively “disables” them.

BIPOC/IBPOC

: 8

(1) Black and Indigenous and people of
colour, a synonym for POC (people of color),
which is meant to emphasize the specificity
of Indigenous peoples’ and Black peoples’
struggles. (2) Some people use BIPOC as an
acronym to refer specifically to Black and
Indigenous people of colour. For the purposes
of consistency, The Daily is choosing to
only use BIPOC as a synonym for POC.
