The Quebec government is launching an investigation of two English-language junior colleges in Montreal over complaints about student safety in the context of the conflict in the Middle East.

Déry said on social media today she’s asked her department to investigate the governance at Dawson and Vanier colleges to see whether the school administrations have used all available tools to guarantee student safety.

Dawson College cancelled classes and closed its campus for one day last month during a pro-Palestinian student strike involving students at the college and at several post-secondary schools in Montreal.

The minister says the “climate on certain campuses” has deteriorated in recent months, though she didn’t offer specific examples.
