Ryerson told to crack down on racism “chill”:
A 107-page report released by Ryerson University today calls for anti-racism training for senior staff, a Census Day to keep track of demographics, and an anti-racism course that may become compulsory. The changes come after some visible minority students said they are harassed and often excluded. Minority faculty agreed with the students, saying there is a “chilly climate” at Ryerson.
