School statement on contentious social media post
On June 3, a Schulich Medicine & Dentistry faculty member shared contentious social media posts to Twitter. The views expressed in posts do not align with the views of Schulich Medicine & Dentistry or Western University.
Our School’s priority is the safety and success of students and ensuring an inclusive environment for all students, staff and faculty. Teams at the School are working together to support this inclusion and are providing resources to our students to ensure they are supported.
Universities are places where controversial discussions and debates take place, and at times, unsettling ideas are presented and challenged. With this in mind, it's important to note that individual faculty members have the freedom to express their opinions and beliefs, and those views are their own and do not represent the views of Schulich Medicine & Dentistry or Western University.
