June 2, 2020The SGPS’ Commitment to BIPOC Students at Queen’s
June 4, 2020SGPS Statement on #BlackoutTuesday and Going Forward
At the SGPS we recognize that we need to do better to support students of colour. In addition to our participation in #blackouttuesday we will be making these commitments moving forward.
- Commitment to add mandatory cultural safety training to our bylaws and policies (in addition to our mandated anti-oppression training);
- Committing to furthering internal Executive education by reaching out to the Queen’s inclusion and anti-racism advisor for educational opportunities; and
- Providing BIPOC students a platform for advocacy at the SGPS where Queen’s history of institutional racism can continue to be challenged.
