Our current political climate is increasingly revealing the symbiotic relationship between bigoted words, actions and policies. When media outlets, learning institutions and technology companies give hateful words a platform under the guise of “objectivity,” they treat human rights as a matter of abstract theoretical debate. Such abstraction, partially predicated on the false idea that words do not cause harm, has immediate material consequences for marginalized people.

The Purpose/Rationale statement outlined in Humber’s Gender Diversity Policy establishes the commitment of Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber to ensure that all its members are treated fairly, equitably, and respectfully, in order to provide a learning, living and working environment that is free from discrimination and harassment on the basis of gender identity and gender expression.

This is to inform all the staff members at the North Campus that Central Receiving (mailroom) will be closed from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Tuesday, Mar 7 due to a training session organized by HR. We will resume to our normal operations from 12 p.m. onwards. Thank you.

Humber celebrates women of excellence for International Women’s Day.
