Role of College Council

College Council is the collective voice of the College in that it is an assembly of faculty, support staff, students, and administrators who suggest directions in which the College should proceed. College Council advises the President on those College issues which it considers to be long and short-term priorities as identified in Humber’s Strategic Plan.

As of 2018, Humber’s three Strategic Pillars provide the foundation for the strategic priorities and corresponding supporting actions:

1. Career-Ready Citizens
2. Accessible Education
3. Healthy and Inclusive Community

The Council advises the President of the College in matters affecting academic policy, planning, and practice, including, the successful implementation of Humber’s Strategic Plan initiatives. College policy or business items ultimately proceeding to the College's Board of Governors may appear at College Council at the discretion of the President, before final disposition at the Board of Governors.

The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia (IDAHOTB) was created in 2004 to draw attention to the violence and discrimination experienced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex people and all other people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities or expressions, and sex characteristics.

The date of May 17 was specifically chosen to commemorate the World Health Organization’s decision in 1990 to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder.

IDAHOTB is now celebrated in more than 130 countries, including 37 where same-sex acts are illegal. Thousands of initiatives, big and small, are engaged in all over the world.

IDAHOTB works to draw the attention of decision makers, the media, the public, corporations, opinion leaders, local authorities, and others to the alarming situation faced by people with diverse sexual orientations, gender identities or expressions, and sex characteristics.

The International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia is not one centralized campaign; it is a moment that everyone can take advantage of to take action on whatever issue and in whatever format they wish. Many different entities participate in the global mobilization around May 17.

The theme for IDAHOTB 2023 is “Together always: united in diversity”. At a time when hard-won advances for 2SLGBTQ+ communities around the globe are increasingly under threat, the power of solidarity, allyship and community across identities has never been more necessary.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Inclusion and the 2SLGBTQ+ ERG encourage you to learn more about the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia and encourage you to reflect on how you can deepen your commitment and action in making sure Humber is an inclusive environment for all.

Exciting developments are underway at the Dispute Resolution Clinic (DRC). The service will be relocated to the Longo Faculty of Business and will now be called the Conflict Resolution Centre (CRC). There will be no anticipated alterations to the service offerings. 

Students enrolled in the Humber College’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) graduate program will continue to provide conflict coaching and mediation services for students facing a variety of conflicts. This includes group-project conflicts, cultural conflicts, and relationship conflicts. This service is a valuable resource that equips Humber and University of Guelph-Humber students with life skills to navigate emotionally charged situations and achieve overall academic success. 

The new CRC website is: https://business.humber.ca/conflictresolutioncentre

Visit the new booking page.

CRC will continue to serve students at Humber College and UofGH, and the broader Etobicoke community.
