Adaptable Resolution

Adaptable Resolution (AR) for Students is a voluntary and restorative process used to address harm within the community stemming from sexual and gender-based misconduct. Through shared-decision making and active engagement, Parties, alongside trained facilitators, are invited to engage in a spectrum of pathways designed to promote agency, equity, and collaboration. These pathways create opportunities for meaningful accountability, repair of harm, and education to prevent future harm. 

Land Acknowledgement

What is a land acknowledgement and why is it important? 

A Land Acknowledgment is a formal statement that recognizes and respects Indigenous Peoples as traditional stewards of this land and the enduring relationship that exists between Indigenous Peoples and their traditional territories. It is important to recognize this history and the ongoing impacts of settler colonialism in order to appreciate and honor Indigenous Peoples, as well as dismantle the oppressive systems that continue to cause impact and harm.
