Principal Patrick Deane sent the following letter to all students ahead of more large gatherings anticipated this weekend. A social media campaign targeting students will run across all official university social media channels to re-enforce his message:
Dear Students,
Starting this month, the university will begin consultations with Indigenous members of the Queen’s community to engage in a reflective dialogue on Indigeneity in pursuit of improving internal practices and advancing truth and reconciliation. This comes from the realization earlier this year that the required rigour associated with Indigenous identity has not been adequately factored into hiring and other internal processes at Queen’s in a consistent manner.
Eighty years ago, the late Dr. Alfred Bader (BSc'45, BA'46, MSc'47, LLD'86) arrived on campus to begin his studies at Queen’s, inaugurating an ongoing relationship between the university and the Bader family that has been marked by a series of transformational gifts. To commemorate the anniversary and the extraordinary philanthropy of the Baders, Queen’s has proclaimed Nov. 15 Bader Day and is also announcing three new gifts from the Bader family and Bader Philanthropies, Inc.
