PA-6: Support for Underrepresented Groups

The Aboriginal Student Services Centre (ASSC) has been created to maintain a safe, educational and culturally sensitive environment for all Aboriginal students (First Nation, Metis and Inuit) as they pursue their academic studies at The University of Winnipeg. The ASSC strives to provide continuous student support and resources that will foster resilience in students to succeed from the application process to Convocation. In collaboration with the students, faculty, and staff at The University of Winnipeg, Accessibility Services (AS) and the Accessibility Resource Centre (ARC) facilitate and promote the ongoing development of an accessible learning environment which provides students with disabilities or medical conditions the opportunity to participate fully in all aspects of campus life. International Student Services at The University of Winnipeg offers a wide variety of services to UWinnipeg international students.

The Respectful Working and Learning Environment Policy and the Procedures to implement it became effective on June 1, 2013, and are reproduced below. Creating a climate of respect and maintaining an environment free of discrimination and harassment is a shared responsibility. Members of the University community have an obligation not to cause or participate in harassment or discriminatory behavior. The University will endeavour to ensure that individuals who believe that they have been subjected to harassment or discrimination are able to express concerns and register complaints without fear of retaliation or reprisal. The University will act promptly and efficiently to deal with incidents of harassment and/or discrimination, taking corrective action respecting any member of the University community who breaches this Policy.
