Discrimination, anti-racism and anti-hate
The Government of Ontario passed Bill 166 — Strengthening Accountability and Student Supports in May 2024. On September 9, 2024, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU) issued the “Minister’s Anti-Racism and Anti-Hate Directives” under Bill 166 to all universities and colleges, directing postsecondary institutions to implement policies and procedures on anti-racism and anti-hate by January 31, 2025.
The Human Rights Office has taken the lead in reviewing the following to ensure they meet the ministry’s directives:
- Policy 67a — Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination
- Procedure 36-1 — Complaints of Harassment and Discrimination Initiated by Students
- Procedure 36-2 — Complaints of Harassment and Discrimination Initiated by Employees
We’ll soon be holding public consultations.
The Human Rights Office will work with its partners to publicize the consultation process and increase input various perspectives, including students and staff who are members of groups who are frequently targets of racism or hate.
