On November 18, 2021, York University became a signatory to the Scarborough Charter on Anti-Black Racism and Black Inclusion in Canadian Higher Education.
Endorsement of this Charter is continued affirmation of York University’s commitment to addressing the systemic anti-Black racism and white supremacy that pervades academia. The Scarborough Charter affirms the fundamental importance of Canadian colleges and universities to take up the call to foster pan-Canadian communities of learning that build practices of ongoing dialogue and action yielding inclusion, substantive equality, and societal transformation.
