From the Principal: Our Interdependence

Attending the 16th general conference of the International Association of Universities (IAU) in Dublin this October, I was pleased to accept on behalf of Âé¶¹¹Ù꿉۪s a “Learning Badgeâ€� that confirmed the progress our university is making in its planning and strategy for internationalization. “Global engagementâ€� is the term we prefer to use for this aspect of our work because it suggests a higher degree of intentionality and purposiveness – not mere acquiescence in a process driven by circumstance.

Statement against antisemitism at Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø's

This past week has been a very difficult one for Jewish community members. South of the border, antisemitic hatred has been given a platform by public personalities, and that has had a chilling effect across the country and the world. Sadly, Âé¶¹¹ÙÍø's has also seen the emergence of this sentiment with swastika graffiti and messages of violence at various locations on campus and more recently reported through social media.

Statement about Protests in Iran

Dear Members of the Âé¶¹¹Ù꿉۪s Community,

Like so many of you, I have watched with horror the events unfolding in Iran. The latest attacks by Iranian police on students protesting at Tehran’s Sharif University have brought this matter even closer to home. For several weeks, the world has watched as brave citizens have taken to the streets after the senseless death of a young woman at the hands of an oppressive regime. They have used their voices to challenge and criticize sexism, inequity, violence and abuse.

In receiving “GII-IKIDONAANIWAN - IT HAS BEEN SAID,â€� the report of First Peoples Group on Indigenous identity, Âé¶¹¹Ù꿉۪s accepted the principle that a new process for confirming claims to Indigenous identity is needed when future employment considerations require Indigenous representation. This third party, external report reflects the opinions of community members that engaged in the dialogue process run by the First Peoples Group and the recommendations as presented were developed in light of that qualitative undertaking.
