Concordia took an important and critical step toward addressing issues of systemic racism at our university in 2020. The President's Task Force on Anti-Black Racism was formed under the leadership of Anne Whitelaw, provost and vice-president, Academic, and looked at all areas of the institution.
A series of recommendations were developed and presented in October 2022.
We invite you to join Angélique Willkie, chair of the President's Task Force on Anti-Black Racism, and Maurice Riley Case, BPO manager, to learn about the process, findings, recommendations and path forward.
