President’s statement on the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination

As a university that strives to be what the world needs, we recognize that diverse voices are needed in the world now more than ever. We are proud to be home to a diverse community of students from more than 130 countries, and to faculty and staff with a wide variety of backgrounds in their respective fields. The diversity of our values, cultures and lived experiences strengthens our university community and brings immense value to advancing our mission around teaching, research and scholarly and artistic work.

Equity, diversity and inclusion remain priorities of the University of Saskatchewan. Each of us has an important role to play in eliminating racial discrimination and all forms of inequity in our institution, our province and our country. We remain committed to creating inclusive learning, teaching and research environments in which all people can thrive and all voices are heard. We will continue to be intentional in charting our path to a more equitable future.

I encourage you to take a moment today to learn more about the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and USask’s ongoing commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.

Sincerely,
