Queen’s Senate gathered Tuesday on Zoom to discuss the Harassment and Discrimination Policy, the Conversation, and the ongoing search for leadership roles at the University.
Lon Knox, University secretary and chair of the working group, was available to provide an update on the draft Harassment and Discrimination Policy.
