Safety precautions
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

Winnipeg Police Service (WPS) today reported<(http:/winnipeg.ca/police/press/2017/11nov/2017_11_21.aspx> random groping incidents near the Health Sciences Centre (HSC) although the initial report stated the three victims are all HSC employees, WPS has since confirmed that one is a University of Manitoba student. The University of Manitoba wants to ensure the safety and security of the university community. Security Services takes this opportunity to remind everyone on our campuses of a number of useful safety precautions: · Stay alert to your surroundings, trust your instincts and, if you feel uncomfortable in a place or situation, leave immediately. The best prevention is precaution. · One of the most successful deterrents to street crime is the buddy system. A lone person is the best target for a criminal. Travel in pairs or with a group whenever you can. · Be aware of your surroundings and don’t use unfamiliar shortcuts to save time. · Plan a safe route and stick to it. · Stay on busy, well-lighted streets. · Walk in the middle of the sidewalk. · Set boundaries and keep a safe distance from strangers on the street. · Walk facing traffic so you can see approaching cars. · If you are being followed, change directions and head for a populated area. Security Services offers the following safety initiatives: · 24/7 full time security presence through Security Services. · CCTV camera coverage. · The recently expanded Safewalk program is available on both the Fort Garry and Bannatyne campuses. Students, staff and visitors can request a Safewalk 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As part of the program, Security Services will accompany an individual from one university location to another, to their vehicle or to a bus stop on university property. Requests for a Safewalk can be made by calling 204-474-9312. More information is available off the Security Services home page<http://umanitoba.ca/campus/security/>. More information on sexual violence support and education at the U of M can be found here<http://umanitoba.ca/sexual-violence/>.

Message from Dr. David T. Barnard, President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Manitoba
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 15 Sep '17

15 Sep '17

[LH masthead.jpg] Last year, the University of Manitoba community launched a revised set of behavioural policies, including a new stand-alone sexual assault policy. Like other universities across Canada, the University of Manitoba recognized the continued importance of addressing behavioural issues. Our ongoing goal is to build a culture of consent, respect, trust, and inclusivity and, most importantly, to ensure the safety of our community. The revised policies, available online at http://umanitoba.ca/human_rights/rwle/index.html, are clear and direct, resulting from broad and extensive consultation with all groups on campus, including students, staff and faculty. They also are responsive to the needs of our community. The policies have been tested, and they work. That doesn't mean they shouldn't be reviewed. They can, and will be. Feedback from individuals involved directly in incidents, especially feedback from complainants, is always valued and will inform revisions, which will be undertaken every three years. As has occurred recently, the effectiveness of our policies will attract scrutiny. Although I cannot speak to any individual case, I do want to take this opportunity to emphasize the university's unwavering commitment to fostering a safe, inclusive and respectful environment. That means that we deeply respect the concerns of any members of our community who show the courage to come forward with a complaint. Their thoughts and feelings are important to us. We will support them, we will follow through on their concerns, and we will do what we can to ensure their safety. These matters are complex, and they require navigating many sensitive and challenging issues, often within a competing framework of rights and interests and legislative requirements. In order for the policies to work effectively, they have to respect the confidentiality and privacy of the complainant, but also of the respondent. That can be difficult to accept when one is directly involved, but it is essential in order to maintain the integrity of the process. I am confident the policies work, that they help keep our campuses safe, inclusive and respectful. The policies are critical to building the university we want to be, and we are committed to refining them as required. This is an iterative process. We listen, we learn, and we improve. Perhaps it is fitting that, as we mark Homecoming Week, celebrating our achievements and successes, friendships and relationships, we also remind ourselves of our pledge to build a community together where we learn and work with one another assured of our safety, inclusion and respect.
