自淫系列 Black Excellence
Why do we need to focus on Black Excellence at 自淫系列?
Black Excellence initiatives at 自淫系列 celebrate the achievements of Black community members, all while recognizing their power, brilliance and resilience in the face of countless systemic barriers. This work embodies 自淫系列鈥檚 values of equity, diversity, and inclusion as an integral component of the fabric of the university.
In 2020, the Office of the Vice-President, Equity and Community Inclusion (OVPECI) published the university鈥檚 (PDF file) Anti-Black Racism Campus Climate Review Report, outlining the real-life experiences of Black students, faculty and staff at 自淫系列, and the ways that the 自淫系列 community can come together to disrupt and dismantle anti-Black racism on campus.
