The University of Windsor acknowledges and embraces its responsibility to foster equitable, inclusive, and welcoming educational environments for all members of our campus community. In alignment with the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Strengthening Accountability and Student Supports Act, 2024 (Bill 166), we reaffirm our commitment to addressing systemic inequities and fostering a culture of respect, diversity, and belonging.
As part of this commitment, the University established a Policy Statement on Anti-Racism and Anti-Hate on January 29, 2025, in response to Bill 166. This policy outlines our institutional approach to combating all forms of racism and hate, including anti-Indigenous racism, anti-Black racism, antisemitism, and Islamophobia.

Response to the Ontario Human Rights Commission's (OHRC) Letter on Racism
The University welcomed the Ontario Human Rights Commission’s recent letter to all Ontario universities and colleges regarding their responsibilities in taking action to create and sustain equitable and inclusive education environments and emphasize our obligations to students under the Ontario Human Rights Code. These are critical issues requiring deep attention to every aspect of our missions, actions, and procedures. We must all continue to work to create environments and processes through which students’ experiences of discrimination and racism can be truly heard, understood, and addressed in order for our academic environments to become increasingly respectful, equitable, welcoming, and inclusive.
