York University is committed to creating a space where people feel valued and safe. We recognize that it is only when these conditions are satisfied that each individual can perform at his or her optimal level and make a full contribution as a York community member.
In response to events in the Fall of 2007, the University Safety Audit Committee (USAC) was struck and comprised of faculty, staff, alumni and representatives from both the York Federation of Students and the Graduate Students Association, and chaired by Professor Livy Visano. USAC’s role was to oversee a safety audit process that would be led by an external organization. After conducting an open public bidding process, USAC selected the Metropolitan Action Committee on Violence Against Women and Children (METRAC) to perform the audit with a mandate to identify ways to improve York's environment, both physical and cultural.
USAC and METRAC have now concluded their work and we have received METRAC’s report. This website will reflect the progress we are making on the recommendations in the METRAC Safety Audit Report.
