Institutionalization of Anti-Black Racism as the Antidote for Exclusion and Erasure from Academia as a Black Scholar

Dear President Lachemi:

We must continue to take serious action to create a future in which all Black students, faculty and staff feel welcome, included and can bring their whole selves to Ryerson to work, learn, research, teach and succeed.

Dr Mohamed Lachemi
