What do I do if I experience discrimination on campus?

Firstly, if you are experiencing discrimination at any point, it is not your fault. You should never have to deal with discrimination, but in case you do have to, here are some options on what you can do:

  • Make an appointment with the MUNSU Director of Advocacy or the Queer or Trans Reps, if you are an undergraduate student
  • Speak to the Head of the Department you are taking the class in. They may be able to do something to help you in this situation.
  • Speak to the Director of Student Life about the options you have.
  • If all else fails, you may go to the Human Rights Commission with your complaint.
