A new report by U of T's Asian Alliance is demanding action from the university, criticizing its initial response to a 'hell money' incident and what appeared to be a man holding a machine gun in an online meeting.
was circulated calling for the university to investigate the incident.
It can be that friendly and inclusive safe space she expected if substantial changes are made to how the university prevents instances of anti-Asian racism, she said, but that burden should be on the university itself, not on its students. And given the university’s initial handling of the hell money incident, there’s a lot of work to be done.
The report criticizes the university’s initial response to the hell money and machine-gun incidents, and outlines steps the university can implement to combat and prevent these events in the future, plus other steps for the university to be more inclusive for Asian students on campus. That action looks like changes to the university’s equity, diversity and inclusion departments , including that it increases staffing and investments at EDI offices to establish formal and responsive channels of communication for U of T members, but it also looks at community building, crisis response and accountability, and anti-racism and anti-oppression approaches, curriculum, representation and leadership.
