Wilfrid Laurier University unequivocally embraces the principles of free expression required in an academic environment. Laurier has created a statement expressing our commitment to these principles. The university supports the expression, testing, and challenging of a range of perspectives and ideas, including those that may be deemed difficult, controversial, extreme, or even wrong-headed. As an institution of higher learning, Laurier strives to instill throughout its community the ability to think critically, express ideas clearly and persuasively, and articulate positions that are based on reason, evidence, and frameworks of knowledge.
The university is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all Laurier community members, and to providing access to services that support well-being and safety from physical harm and fostering a study and workplace culture that is supportive of professional and personal development and free from harassment and discrimination. Harassment, through any means, negatively impacts or interferes with the work and learning environment.
