Dear students, staff, faculty members and librarians,<\/p>\n

At Brock, we can be proud of the diversity of our University community, and of the welcoming home that our campuses provide to individuals from a range of backgrounds. Much of the progress we have made in this area results from the hard work of members of our own community, including the Human Rights Task Force and the President\u2019s Advisory Committee on Human Rights, Equity and Decolonization (PACHRED).<\/p>\n

Brock\u2019s Institutional Strategic Plan<\/a> highlights our commitment to creating a safe work and learning environment for all members of our community, as well as our priorities related to fostering a culture of inclusivity, accessibility, reconciliation and decolonization.<\/p>\n

While we should recognize the progress that we have made and are making every day in this area, we should also constantly strive for better. For that reason, Brock will be taking a number of steps in 2022 to strengthen its services and policy framework, and to ensure that we continue to promote effective practices related to inclusivity, accessibility, reconciliation and decolonization.<\/p>\n

These steps will include:<\/p>\n
