About Us
Western’s Human Rights Office (HRO) provides information on the University’s discrimination and harassment policies and other human rights-related issues. We are here to help you, whether you are a student, staff or faculty member. We are dedicated to making Western a safe, respectful and supportive environment for all members of the University community. The Human Rights Office is confidential except in specific circumstances.
Note: In September 2020, the former Equity & Human Rights Services was reorganized. Past reports of the EHRS Office may be found in the accordion menus below.
The Human Rights Office (HRO) prepares an annual report as per the MAPP1.35 Non-Discrimination, Harassment and Sexual Misconduct Policy. The report focuses on concerns reported to the Human Rights Office by students, staff, administrative leaders, faculty, alumni and other community members. The concerns reported may relate to harassment ( personal or workplace), discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual misconduct.
