Did you know Humber’s Human Rights Policy outlines Humber’s position as it relates to Freedom of Speech?

Provided below is an overview of Humber’s statement on Freedom of Speech located in section two (2); page three (3) of Humber’s Human Rights Policy:

  • Faculty and students have the right to discuss and to debate culturally sensitive and controversial ideas and issues relevant to the curriculum, in an open and safe manner and without fear of reprisal.
  • Faculty members are required to exercise sound professional judgment and conduct, and intellectual integrity during discussions, arguments, and disagreements, when conducted at the College. Faculty members are required to conduct discussions in an open, responsible and respectful manner.
  • The persistent or vexatious use of demeaning or abusive comments or actions which have the effect of threatening, intimidating, demeaning or harming an individual or group, or is otherwise in excess of the reasonable limits on freedom of speech in a free and democratic society is unacceptable and cannot be justified by an appeal to “freedom of speech”.

The College has the right, as well as the legal and moral responsibility, to ensure that all its members are treated fairly, equitably, and respectfully. To view the full statement on Freedom of Speech in Humber’s Human Rights policy visit: humber.ca/policies/human-rights-policy-procedure

Release of Windows 10
View in full page
When:
July 20, 2015

As you have likely already heard, Microsoft plans to release Windows 10, a new version of its popular operating system, later this summer.

Information Technology will be carefully evaluating Windows 10 this fall. Windows 10 is expected to be very different; it has reportedly been redesigned for use in computers, smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles.

Humber’s future use of Windows 10 is expected to be an Academic & Educational Technology Committee agenda item next term. In the meantime, all computers in academic spaces will continue to run Windows 7.

Adopting new technology is not without risk. Caution is advised when considering Windows 10 for home use. Although initially available at no cost, users may want to defer Windows 10 until it proves stable and reliable.

Should you have questions or concerns regarding Humber’s adoption plans for Windows 10, please contact me at Ryan.Burton@humber.ca or X5290.
