The Concordia University massacre occurred on August 24, 1992, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Four people were killed and one was injured in the shooting.
Valery Fabrikant, an associate professor of mechanical engineering, was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
He was denied parole in 2015 and again in 2022.
The university commissioned two independent committees to investigate the events and made changes to its ethics rules and administrative procedures.
The university also established conflict-resolution workshops and resources.
Fabrikant acted as his own lawyer during the trial and called 75 witnesses for his defense, but was found guilty of four charges of first-degree murder, attempted murder, and two hostage charges.
He has filed numerous lawsuits while behind bars and has been declared a "vexatious litigant" by Canadian courts.
A memorial to the victims was placed in the foyer of the Hall Building, and the university joined the Coalition for Gun Control and gathered signatures for a petition calling for tougher national gun laws.
