Thompson Rivers University has announced that it will sign the Scarborough Charter later this month. As a signatory, TRU will commit to principles and calls to action related to confronting anti-Black racism, such as strengthening accountability, supporting Black inclusion, and improving representation among faculty and staff. The charter will also connect TRU’s Black faculty, staff, and student groups to a network of other institutions across Canada who are advancing this work. “TRU already has a history of promoting diversity and interculturalism,” said TRU Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism EDI Manager Keisha Morong. “It’s really important that we ensure our Black students—many of them international students—find a space to flourish here, free of anti-Black racism.”
