Why Some Security Incidents Lack Details

At Toronto Metropolitan University, our top priority is to ensure the safety and security of our community members while also protecting confidentiality and privacy. As part of our commitment to transparency, we report security incidents that may pose a risk to personal or public safety. However, in cases involving sexual violence or criminal harassment, we may limit details to protect those involved, support healing and respect ongoing investigations or legal proceedings. We assure you that these decisions are made carefully and in the best interests of our community.

The university is committed to transparency while upholding privacy and legal obligations under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, as well as its institutional policies and procedures.

This approach ensures we keep our community informed while safeguarding personal privacy.
