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.
The 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. Principal Deane directed the Faculty of Law to set up the advisory committee in July, in response to an online petition calling for the law school building to be renamed.
The advisory committee delivered a 65-page report to Dean Walters recommending the Macdonald name be removed from the building. This recommendation was accepted by Dean Walters and then endorsed by Principal Deane before being sent to the Board of Trustees for final approval.
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 says 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
In 2015 the final report of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) made clear the legacy of residential schools is hurtful and lasting. Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 has accepted the findings of the TRC and is committed to honouring its calls to action. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission also identifies special responsibilities for law schools in Canada, and Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Law must ensure that the faculty lives up to those responsibilities.
카지노 게임 컬렉션During this era of truth and reconciliation, it카지노 게임 컬렉션s important to consider how we move forward together with a good mind and in peace for the greater good for all peoples,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Kanonhsyonne Janice Hill, Associate Vice-Principal of Indigenous Initiatives. 카지노 게임 컬렉션As Haudenosaunee we are taught in our decision making to reflect on and be mindful of the past while considering the impact on future generations. This decision affirms that Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is headed in that direction in terms of creating a safe and equitable space where each member of the community has a strong sense of belonging. As we continue to dismantle these colonial symbols, we get closer to achieving an inclusive community for all.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s will be following a separate process to eventually rename the Faculty of Law building. Principal Deane will bring recommendations to the Board of Trustees around a renaming process in the coming months, as well recommendations to review commemoration on campus, and a program of public education. More details about these recommendations will be shared in due course.
In the meantime, everyone in the university community is invited to visit the Principal카지노 게임 컬렉션s Office website to read the full report by the Building Name Advisory Committee, as well as the recommendations forwarded to the Board of Trustees by Principal Deane and Dean Mark Walters.
Over the coming academic year, the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community will also be engaged in acting on the recent Declaration of Commitment to Address Systemic Racism and on Principal Deane카지노 게임 컬렉션s Report on The Conversation with the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community. Both commit Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s to take action to address systemic racism and to unite the community.
