U of T rejects report, recommendations on anti-Muslim, anti-Arab discrimination
- On Thursday, the University in Toronto rejected recommendations from its working group on Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian discrimination, arguing the report "departs significantly from past equity reports" by including "lengthy commentary about events abroad."
- A review of University policies found a "general pattern of over-policing and under-protecting" Muslims, Arabs and Palestinians, with the nearly 300-page report listing 57 recommendations addressing restrictions on speech and inconsistent complaint processes.
- Clinical faculty reported "being cited for unprofessionalism when signing an open letter supporting medical workers in Gaza," according to the nearly 300-page report based on 525 survey responses and 85 consultations.
- The University promised immediate actions to address discrimination, including improving prayer spaces for Muslim communities across its three campuses while supporting scholarly activities on history and culture.
- Officials rejected recommendations they claimed conflicted with collective agreements or the University's "position of institutional restraint," while the report urged consideration of "an absolute prohibition on investments" aiding violations of international law.
