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 Research Office invites you to discover more about the applied research opportunities available and underway at Humber.  Most research projects begin with an industry partner who has a question or problem to solve.

As part of the Teaching and Learning enterprise, applied research provides an opportunity for faculty and students, working together, to solve problems by integrating the innovative use of existing technology and expertise. Whether it is an individual faculty research project, a course-based research project, or a school-led research area, we emphasize the integration of Humber research activities with our academic programming. As such, research at Humber enriches Ontario’s core business – providing excellence in education and training for our highly diverse student population.
