Update on September 12, 2024 protest activities 

On September 12, 2024, McGill security received reports of the entry to a few classes being blocked briefly by small groups of masked protestors. As a result, some of these classes were cancelled.  

McGill security responded quickly to the scenes, and any protestors who were still on site left after security personnel arrived.   

As well, at approximately 1 p.m., a protest gathered in front of the Arts Building and moved off campus within 45 minutes.  

Obstruction to accessing classrooms is completely unacceptable. This is not an allowable form of protest or expression and assembly. It directly targeted students and student learning, disrupted university activities and violated University policies. We are investigating the matter and any members of the university community who can be identified will be subject to disciplinary proceedings.
