On March 28th 2019, McGill University's Board of Governors has adopted the revised Policy against Sexual Violence (updated from 2016), confirming the University's commitment to ensuring that its campuses are free of acts of sexual violence. One of the key changes brought about by the revised Policy is the creation of a centralized reporting and investigative procedure, led by an independent special investigator.
