Our Commitment
Trent University prohibits any form of discrimination and harassment that constitutes a violation of a person’s rights under the terms of its Discrimination and Harassment Policy and the Ontario Human Rights Code (“The Code”). Under the Code, every person has the right to freedom from discrimination and harassment based on specified protected grounds. This Policy affirms Trent University’s commitment to compliance with the Code.
Trent University aims to promote awareness of individuals’ rights and responsibilities under this Policy and to eliminate discriminatory barriers. The University is fundamentally committed to the promotion of free inquiry and expression, and strives to provide a working, learning and an on-campus residential environment that is supportive of study, scholarship, teaching and research while ensuring a safe, accessible, inclusive, and respectful space for all individuals. The University acknowledges and promotes individuals’ freedom to express diverse viewpoints. It is important to note that this does not extend to expression that incites racism, hate, discrimination, harassment or violence against any person or group based on any Code-protected characteristic.
As an institution, we aim to address and combat racism and hate, including anti Indigenous racism, anti-Black racism, antisemitism and Islamophobia. In accordance with the Strengthening Accountability and Student Supports Act, 2024 (Bill 166) we have reviewed several of our related policies to reflect and activate this commitment.
