Move to pull some information from public pages comes after a triple stabbing at a University of Waterloo gender studies class in June, which police described as a hate-motivated attack
Several Ontario universities are removing course location and other information from their public websites as a safety measure, as faculty representatives look to be more involved in efforts to prevent harassment and hate crimes on campus.
"Based on consultations this summer and with security in mind, room information has been removed from the University’s publicly available undergraduate timetable builder tool. Given the size of our campuses, buildings continue to be identified to help students plan their schedules to account for travel time between classes," a spokesperson for the University of Toronto wrote in a statement.
Western, Queen's, Carleton, Trent and Laurier universities all said they were reviewing current safety practices, including considering the removal of certain information from public domain. Nigmendra Narain says racist, anti-feminist, anti-LGBTQ and other hate-motivated online extremism is being seen on university campuses and classes that explore social and gender issues.
“Staff and faculty associations have an important role to play here,” said Narain, who is also a professor at Western. “They understand and get information from their faculty members as to what are the issues that they are facing.”
