Learn more about UBC’s commitment to fight anti-Black racism and promote Black inclusion through the Scarborough Charter
May 2, 2022
Last November, UBC joined over 50 other universities and colleges across Canada and signed the Scarborough Charter – a historic pledge to fight anti-Black racism and to promote Black inclusion in higher education.
The principles, actions, and commitments outlined in the Charter reflect the signatories’ collective recognition of the realities of anti-Black racism, encapsulate our shared aspirations to address them, and provide a concrete framework for delivering on our promise.
Community Making and Black Flourishing Through the Scarborough Charter
On May 13th and 14, UBC will host the inaugural Inter-Institutional Forum of the Scarborough National Charter on Anti-Black Racism and Black Inclusion in Canadian Higher Education. As part of the Forum, there will be a public symposium co-hosted by UBC and SFU on Saturday, May 14: Community Making and Black Flourishing Through the Scarborough Charter. The symposium contributes to the ongoing work and commitments by both universities to combat anti-Black racism and promote Black flourishing at our institutions and in the wider community.
