CRCP and Equity
The University employs a Harassment and Discrimination Advisor who is responsible for receiving incidents and complaints related to the Anti-Harassment and Discrimination Policy and the Policy Against Sexualized Violence. The Advisor provides confidential, fair and impartial resource to the University community on all aspects of harassment and discrimination. The Advisor offers advice and support to any student, faculty or staff member who has concerns about harassment or discrimination. The Advisor also works to resolve informal complaints of harassment and discrimination and, when required, refers formal complaints to an external investigator for investigation.
Additionally, the university’s EDIA advisor has broad responsible for monitoring and addressing EDiA concerns and reporting on EDIA outcomes. This includes providing an annual report to the Board of Governors.
If you have any EDI concerns please contact Delvina Bernard, EDIA Advisor, the Office of Equity, Indigenous Relations, Human Rights at Delvina.bernard2@msvu.ca
