The McGill Senate is currently considering reforms that would eliminate a clause requiring researchers to disclose whether military-funded research would have "direct harmful consequences."

Officials from the McGill administration argue that this move would bring McGill in line with other research-intensive universities in the US and Canada.

But activists from the Demilitarize McGill campaign are calling this move regressive. They say that McGill is participating in harmful research with the American and Canadian military, and are calling for stronger regulations governing military research.

To delve further into the subject, CKUT hosted a broadcast on Tuesday featuring a panel of guests concerned  about military research at McGill.
