drop-in q&a with the office of human rights and equity - wednesday, sept. 30, from 1 to 3 pm.
the covid-19 pandemic has highlighted many long-existing social inequities experienced by racialized and marginalized communities. the fear and anxiety of this global pandemic has also fueled increased incidents of racism, discrimination, and social stigma in canada and around the world.
at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , we believe that a safe and healthy university community is one where the human rights of all of our members are respected and realized. we recognize that when a person's or group's rights are not respected or realized, there is a distinct and measurable decrease in their health outcomes.
what we have learned from the covid-19 pandemic is that the health of one person is so strongly interconnected with the health of the community. when one person gets sick, we all have the potential to get sick. similar to the spread of a virus, discrimination not only affects the health of the person or group targeted by that discrimination, but it also affects the health of the community as a whole. and, similar to the need to address the outbreak of covid-19, we, as a university community, need to address the outbreak of discrimination and social stigmatization that has accompanied the virus.
under ontario's human rights code, all 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , faculty, and staff at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 have the right to learn, live, and work in an environment that is free from discrimination and harassment because of a personal characteristic.
at 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 , we have made a commitment realizing these rights through our 2019-2024 equity, diversity, and inclusion action plan, titled accessing excellence together.
under the student code of conduct - non-academic (section ii), all lakehead 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 have "a. the responsibility to support an environment free from harassment, intimidation, discrimination, assault and sexual and gendered violence" and "b. the responsibility to uphold an atmosphere of civility, honesty, equity and respect for others, thereby valuing the inherent diversity within our community."
discrimination is when a person or group experiences negative treatment because of a personal characteristic, or a person or group experiences different treatment than another person or group because of a personal characteristic.
a "personal characteristic" relates to a person's race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, family status or physical or mental health disability.
the following four (4) actions may constitute discrimination:
note: the above policy will not be discriminatory if you can be accommodated by not being required to wear a mask in indoor public places.
social stigma is a form of discrimination. the world health organization defines social stigma as follows:
social stigma in the context of health is the negative association between a person or group of people who share certain characteristics and a specific disease. in an outbreak, this may mean people are labelled, stereotyped, discriminated against, treated separately, and/or experience loss of status because of a perceived link with a disease.
according to the world health organization, social stigma can contribute to a situation where persons or groups isolate themselves and do not seek immediate medical attention. as a result, the covid-19 virus is more, not less, likely to spread.
social stigma may:
therefore, social stigma does not only affect the health of the person or group targeted by that stigmatization, but it also affects the health of the community as a whole.
discrimination or social stigma is prohibited under 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's harassment and discrimination policy.
世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 who participate in discrimination or social stigmatization against any member of the 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 community, including another student, a faculty member, or a staff member, will be subject to the student code of conduct – non-academic. violations of the non-academic code could result in the implementation of sanctions (such as loss of privileges, behavioural probation, suspension, or, in extreme circumstances, expulsion).
faculty members or staff members who participate in discrimination or social stigmatization against another member of the 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 community will be subject to the employee code of conduct or provisions of their collective agreements (where applicable).

members of the council of canadian law deans stand in solidarity with all who mourn and have denounced examples of systemic racism in canadian and other societies, and, in particular, violence perpetrated against racialized people in canada. we recognize and acknowledge the pain and anguish experienced by many of our racialized 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , staff and faculty, and we are grateful for the leadership of blsa chapters across the country.
we know that law schools can play a critical role in dismantling systems of institutionalized racism in our society. as legal educators we can contribute productively to the ways in which these issues are addressed in the curriculum and in the legal system more generally. we want all our graduates to appreciate that racism has no place in a society governed by the rule of law, and that as members of the legal profession they must play a role in ameliorating the damage caused by racist practices in the canadian legal system. this goal is vitally important because we know that law is not inherently neutral or progressive; we are regretfully aware that graduates of our faculties – many of whom have held positions of leadership in canadian society – have played significant roles in the development and perpetuation of colonial and systemically racist policy and practices. this is a history we must work to correct.
we commit to continuing the efforts in each of our law schools to focus on issues of racism, particularly anti-black racism, and the role of law in maintaining those systems, as we teach and learn with our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and as we examine and develop our curricular offerings. we also commit to finding more opportunities to consider the ways in which law can be a force for change in unsettling embedded racism. we will seek to advance the goal of removing racism from the operation of the legal system through the clinical and extra-curricular opportunities we provide to our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , in our student recruiting and faculty hiring, in our support for the research communities examining these issues and in our engagement with the broader legal community.
the office of human rights and equity (ohre) is facilitating an online discussion session on systemic racism
dreeni geer, director ohre, will be on campus in orillia on monday, june 11 and tuesday, june 12.
if you are a member of the university community and have concerns around human rights or sexual violence and need supports or would like to discuss reporting options, please contact jonathan erua to make an appointment at ext. 7763 or humanrights@lakeheadu.ca.
阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 stands in solidarity with members of a global movement to denounce racism in all of its forms, against indigenous, black, or any other racialized group. as a canadian post-secondary institution located on the traditional lands of indigenous peoples, and with a university community comprised of people from nations around the world, racist and colonialist attitudes are not accepted by our university community.
阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is steadfast in its commitment to the principles set out in the universal declaration of human rights and the ontario human rights code — that the inherent dignity, and the equal and inalienable rights, of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.
we have developed a comprehensive approach to equity, diversity and inclusion (edi). lakehead’s board of governors has enshrined the principles of edi in its strategic plan (2018-2023) under the pillar of social responsibility. lakehead’s senate has also supported edi within its academic and research priorities.
through the implementation of the university’s equity, diversity, and inclusion action plan, accessing excellence together, we are ensuring that edi principles are incorporated into our student and employee recruitment and retention efforts, our teaching and research, and our governance systems.
we have established values so that who we are and what we do nurtures our and society’s ongoing efforts to be global citizens and communities. we are committed to ensuring that 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is a welcoming and safe place for all peoples, and that racist or oppressive expressions are not accepted here.
