Apr 12, 2019 | 8:45 AM

MONTREAL — McGill University has announced that effective today, its sports teams will no longer be called the Redmen.

Principal Suzanne Fortier says the Redmen name is not one the university would choose today, and it is not one that McGill should carry forward.

The name had been harshly criticized by Indigenous students and staff.
