Faculty Action Plan to Address Anti-Black Racism: Consultation sessions for Black students, faculty and staff
The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, working through its Social Accountability and Community Engagement (SACE) Office, is developing a Faculty-specific plan to address systemic anti-Black racism following the September 30 release of聽成人VR视频鈥檚 Action Plan to Address Anti-Black Racism.
The Faculty鈥檚 final plan 鈥� which will include specific actions, targets and timelines 鈥� will be shared with the community once consultations are completed. To help shape the plan, the SACE Office聽is hosting聽two consultation events for聽Black students, faculty and staff to share ideas and experiences relating to five axes identified in 成人VR视频鈥檚 Action Plan: student experience, research and knowledge, outreach, workforce and physical space. A plan framework, created based on initial insights and input from Black community members and key stakeholders, will be presented during these consultation sessions and will be made available Faculty-wide in the coming days.
We will be happy to receive your questions in advance, submitted online at the time of registration, or during the event.
These consultation sessions will be held live on Zoom.聽Click the links to register:
