The Faculty of Education stands in solidarity with members of our community impacted by the vandalism yesterday at Four Directions. The flags that were vandalized were hung after the racist and homophobic incident at Chown Hall. This violence and discrimination has no place at our University and community. Our Indigenous and LGBTQ2S+ students, faculty, and staff must feel welcome and safe at Queen’s. We will continue to listen and work with our colleagues and students in our ongoing response to this hateful act.
ATEP has made a statement condemning this act and included contacts for community members impacted by this and resources for allies to educate and act. Please reach out to the resources listed there or to Queen’s student wellness services if you need them.
