The report also surveyed anti-racism initiatives at other Canadian universities and found Western lacking. "Western is far from being on the vanguard of anti-racism activity when compared to several of its peer institutions," the report says. The report also demands that Western gather more comprehensive and publicly available data on the makeup of the staff, student and faculty populations. Start an anti-racism campaign, with a particular focus on anti-Black racism and racism against Indigenous communities. The university will hold a virtual town all on the report on Wednesday between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m.
