Information regarding the legalization of recreational cannabis
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

[Title: U of M Header - Description: Message from Susan M. Gottheil, Vice-Provost (Students)] Recreational cannabis is now legal across the country, and you may have questions about whether you can legally possess and consume it on University property. The University of Manitoba will be following federal and provincial laws, which means that smoking or vaping cannabis is prohibited on campus, including within all residences. Students with a prescription for marijuana will be accommodated through an allowance within the guidelines of the Clean Air policy that permits smoking at least 25 feet or 8 metres from an outside entrance. The growing of cannabis is prohibited on campus, as is its sale. The cannabis rules for students living in residence will be consistent with legalization laws and the University policy but will provide more specific rules and sanctions. The University will address inappropriate behaviour that causes risk or harm to people or property as a result of substance use through its normal student disciplinary procedures. Learn more about the University's approach to cannabis legalization, and some of the supports available, by reading the UM Today story here<http://news.umanitoba.ca/cannabis-policy-on-campus/>. Sincerely, Susan Gottheil Vice-Provost (Students)

Message from President Barnard on Sexual Violence
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 05 Sep '18

05 Sep '18

As the University of Manitoba welcomes 30,000 students to its campus for a new academic year, I wish each of our students a successful year. I want to take this time to reiterate my commitment to a culture of respect, safety, consent and prevention - a place where we can all be comfortable and that we can all call home while we are here. The University has been expanding our support services for students - both in how to identify and how to report any form of sexual violence. I am committed to mandatory education on sexual violence, consent and power relationships and will work with faculty, staff and students to ensure the appropriate levels of support and training are provided. Incidents of inappropriate behaviour at this University have been reported and investigated over the last few years. Inappropriate behaviour, including sexual harassment and sexual assault on campus is unacceptable, and, quite honestly, I find such conduct to be horrible and appalling. Today, I am apologizing to students who have experienced such inappropriate behaviour. I am deeply sorry. My promise to you is that we will do everything possible to shape a safe and healthy environment, and we will deal expeditiously with all violations that are reported. The Vice-Provost (Students), Susan Gottheil, has provided more details<http://news.umanitoba.ca/a-message-from-vice-provost-students-and-sexual-vi…> around resources available to all members of our community<http://news.umanitoba.ca/educating-our-community-on-sexual-violence/>. I also want to provide a correction to the community of some recent statements: In preparing for today's message, I discovered last Wednesday that we have issued letters of employment to individuals that contained more information than I consider appropriate. The document provided to Steve Kirby as a letter of employment - that I understood to be a mere chronology of his time at the University - in fact also included an outline of activities and achievements, that, though factual, could be construed as supportive. The inclusion of this material was a mistake that must not be repeated. The letter in no way recommended him for any position. Anywhere. So in the interest of disclosure and our commitment to move forward, I have released the letter to the media today. When someone has left the University following an investigation where there have been violations found, I believe a letter of employment should simply state: the start date, end date and titles or roles that the person held. To identify possible improvements, I am asking Donna Miller, QC, to co-lead a careful search and examination of our processes. Donna Miller, an accomplished lawyer and passionate civil servant, is the first woman in Manitoba to become clerk of the province's Executive Council. She was appointed Queen's Counsel and she received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Award for her contribution to public service. We are in the process of confirming the other co-lead and will have more details soon. I am specifically asking Ms. Miller to look at our policies, procedures and execution in such cases, and to provide us with a report on how we can do this better going forward. We will investigate how those accused and those found to be in violation are dealt with in terms of our contractual obligations, employment status, letters of employment, references, and so on. Although I can't speak to specifics, I also want to tell you today that there are other investigations ongoing now. We are committed to due process and to protecting the confidentiality of those with the courage to come forward. I am confident that when people are able to come forward and share their experiences confidentially and have them dealt with, we are all stronger for it. These recent issues have caused us to pause and reaffirm our commitment to a culture where sexual harassment and sexual assault are not acceptable. We won't tolerate this on our campuses. I won't tolerate this on our campuses. I am committed to making this the University we all want it to be. And I look forward to your support in promoting this as a culture of respect, consent, safety and prevention. [cid:image001.png@01D44523.B15D4A40] David T.

Good afternoon, The University of Manitoba is once again participating in the Pride Winnipeg Festival and Parade. I invite and encourage all members of the university community, including our alumni and friends, to participate in the events and walk in the Pride Parade on June 3. The University of Manitoba is committed to creating an outstanding learning and work environment, and building a culture of inclusion on our campuses. Many members of the U of M family count themselves as members of the LGBT2SQ+ community and we are working to ensure that the University of Manitoba is a place where the queer community is welcomed and successful. To celebrate diversity on our campuses, the Pride flag will be raised and flown throughout Pride Week. Students, faculty, staff are invited to a special ceremony on May 28 at 9 a.m. on the steps outside UMSU University Centre at the Fort Garry Campus to show their support for the LGBT2SQ+ community. To find out more about the activities happening on our campuses and register to walk in the Parade, visit umanitoba.ca/umqueer<http://www.umanitoba.ca/admin/human_resources/equity/6284.html> Sincerely, David [cid:image001.png@01D3F1E8.1CD76060] David T.

Sexual Violence Needs Assessment Survey
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 03 Apr '18

03 Apr '18

[susan-email-header] Dear Student, I am inviting you to participate in an anonymous online 'Sexual Violence Needs Assessment Survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/N82PGPV>' being administered to all University of Manitoba students. As you are aware, the University is committed to the safety and well-being of all members of our Community, and as part of this process our Sexual Assault and Violence Steering Committee is examining how well our sexual violence procedures, protocols, and supports are serving our students. In addition to learning about your experiences with sexual violence, we are also interested in understanding what you know about the supports and resources available on campus and your general perceptions of how the University responds to incidents of sexual violence. This information will be helpful to us in determining priorities for additional supports and resources in future. The survey will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. All responses are voluntary and you can exit the survey at any point without consequence. All responses will be recorded anonymously, and your responses cannot be matched with your identity. All survey responses will be aggregated and shared only in group format, so no individual responses will be reported. You can save your progress at any time by clicking on the "Save and continue later" button located at the bottom of each survey page. This will allow you to save your progress and return to finish the survey later. You can also choose to discard your responses, so that no information will be recorded from your responses to the survey, by simply exiting the survey without saving. If you agree to participate, you will have the opportunity to submit your e-mail address for a chance to win one of five $100 University of Manitoba Bookstore gift cards. You can also request that you receive a summary of the overall results when they are available later this year. Please see the Informed Consent document and Official Contest Rules below for more information about the survey and prize draw eligibility. Thank you in advance for providing this important feedback. Kind Regards, Susan Gottheil Vice-Provost (Students)
