Two men encouraging men to take action against harmful behaviours

At Humber, we recognize that we all have a responsibility in preventing and addressing sexual violence. Sexual violence is rooted in gender-based violence, and so men may feel that it is a "women's issue"; however, we acknowledge that men must also take action and hold one another accountable. The Survey on Individual Safety in the Postsecondary Student Population (Statistics Canada, 2019) found that men were less likely to view unwanted sexualized behaviours as harmful, twice as likely to think people are too offended by unwanted sexualized behaviours, and the perpetrators of unwanted sexualized behaviours are more often men.

The Men Seeking Change working group encourages men to reflect on behaviours that could cause harm to others and to intervene when they see these behaviours happening. We will be sharing examples of inappropriate behaviours and ways men could intervene in these behaviours over March and April as a reminder to take action and maintain our culture of respect.


Unhealthy Behaviour: Repeated pressure for dates or sexual activity.

Example: Mitch (he/him) messages his coworker, Callum (he/him), on Tinder asking if he would like to go out on a date. Callum declines and Mitch asks three more times, saying Callum should give him a chance and that he promises it’ll be a great date. Mitch tells his friend, Alvin (he/him), about the repeated rejections and Alvin encourages him to keep trying.

What could Alvin have done differently?

Alvin could have told Mitch that it seems clear that Callum is not interested, and that it probably makes Callum uncomfortable to have to keep being asked out by his coworker.

Example: Sanjay (he/him) has seen Nick (he/him) repeatedly pressure Vidya (she/her) to go out with him. Sanjay dismisses the interactions as none of his business.

What could Sanjay have done differently?

Sanjay could have checked in with Vidya to see how she feels about the repeated pressure for dates. Sanjay could also talk to Nick one-on-one and explain that it seems evident that Vidya is not interested, and Nick should stop.

Two examples of men making repeated pressure for dates/sexual activity and ways they could have intervened.

A closer look at Chrome River Pre-Approval:

Chrome River Pre-Approval allows you to track your spending before it happens and proactively, rather than reactively, enforce Humber policies. Pre-approval allows users to obtain pre-authorization for an expense before a reservation/booking is made – for example, out-of-province business travel. Staff can create requests for categories such as airfare, hotel, meals, and conference registration fees which are then routed automatically for approval based on Humber’s business rules.

End Users:

  • Electronic submission replaces the existing paper/PDF-based format
  • Easily track a submitted pre-approval request
  • Ability to recall a submitted pre-approval request that has not been approved
  • Ability to attach supporting documentation for a pre-approval request
  • Easily convert your approved pre-approval expense report into a reimbursement expense report – eliminates double entry

Approvers:

  • Receive email notifications and electronically approve/disapprove requests
  • Electronically return a pre-approval request (i.e. request more information, request for adjustment) during the approval process
  • Quick access to view pre-approval request and supporting documentation
  • Streamline the approval process

UAT is complete!

Last week we successfully completed User Acceptance Testing. UAT ensures the system has been built to meet Humber’ s business needs. A select group of end users were invited to participate in four test sessions. The users tested and confirmed that the system is ready for production. Users tested Chrome River’s Travel & Expense module, including Pre-approvals and Cash Advance.

Thank you to all of the participants!

All Humber and UofGH Networks to Transition to eduroam on Monday, May 3, 2021

Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are consolidating wireless networks to simplify and improve the user experience. On Monday, May 3, 2021, the eduroam wireless network will become the single network available to all students, staff, and faculty when on the Humber and University of Guelph-Humber campuses (North and Lakeshore).

In addition to providing secure on campus connectivity, eduroam offers simple, secure WIFI access from thousands of access points at colleges and universities worldwide. By using their login credentials, students, staff, and faculty can access the internet securely through the eduroam wireless network at participating post-secondary institutions globally.

If coming to campus over the next few weeks you will notice that other WIFI networks will no longer be visible, and effective May 3, these additional networks will be deactivated. At that time, students, staff, and faculty wanting to access WIFI will be required to login to the eduroam wireless network. Login instructions are below and will be posted on signage located on campus at main entrances and on digital screens for the coming months.

Get Connected in Three Easy Steps

Humber and University of Guelph-Humber students, staff, and faculty can simply login to the eduroam network once on campus by following these three steps:

  1. Select the eduroam network.
    Go to settings on your device and select eduroam from the list of wireless networks. Ensure that you also delete or forget myWi-Fi@Humber or UGH-WiFi-Secure.
  2. Authenticate to eduroam.
    Humber – username@humber.ca and password
    Guelph-Humber – username@guelphhumber.ca and password
  3. Accept the certificate.
    If prompted, accept the eduroam certificate.

If you have issues accessing the eduroam network contact the Humber Support Centre: 
humber.ca/techtalk or 416.675.6622 x8888
