Completed in 1960, this building houses Queen's Faculty of Law. The building has undergone a number of renovations over the years and now features a Moot Court room, as well the Lederman Law Library.
The building was previously known as "Sir John A. Macdonald Hall," named after Sir John A. Macdonald, who grew up and practised law in Kingston and helped to found Queen's before embarking on the political career that made him Canada's first Prime Minister.
On October 19, 2020, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Board of Trustees today approved the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s decision to remove the name 카지노 게임 컬렉션Sir John A. Macdonald카지노 게임 컬렉션 from the law school building, as recommended by Principal and Vice-Chancellor Patrick Deane following his acceptance of recommendations made by Dean Mark Walters, Dean of Faculty of Law, and a report from a special committee set up to consider the situation.
카지노 게임 컬렉션This decision is grounded in the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s present-day academic mission and commitment to honour the values of equity, diversity, and inclusivity and to ensure all students, faculty, and staff feel welcome within the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Principal Deane. 카지노 게임 컬렉션It also supports our commitment to take action to address systemic racism and ensure every member of our community may enjoy the benefits of our institution equally.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The decision follows a two-month public consultation process that saw more than 3,000 members of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community and others submit feedback to the Macdonald Hall Consultation Advisory Committee. The decision honours the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s commitment to support equity, diversity, and inclusivity and the special responsibility of law schools included in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Sir John A. Macdonald is rightly celebrated for his central role in the founding of modern Canada and the creation of our country카지노 게임 컬렉션s constitution. However, a more complete understanding of his legacies has emerged in recent years. In particular, we now have a richer and better understanding of the hurtful views and policies he and his government advanced in relation to Indigenous peoples and racial minorities,카지노 게임 컬렉션 said Dean Mark Walters. 카지노 게임 컬렉션What was made clear through our consultations is that the Macdonald name sends a conflicting message that interferes with the values and aspirations of the current law school and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community where Indigenous and racialized students must feel welcome and included.카지노 게임 컬렉션
