Alleged
Human
Rights
Violations
and
Disrespect
Highlighted
in
Humber
College
Residence
Experience
Good
day,
In
a
shocking
account,
a
black
woman
identified
as
Anita
Persaud-Tinker,
with
a
disability
at
Humber
College
has
come
forward
to
share
her
distressing
experience
living
in
the
college's
residence,
alleging
major
disrespect,
emotional
turmoil,
and
a
violation
of
her
human
rights.
The
student
claims
that
she
was
subjected
to
mistreatment,
manipulated
into
dismissing
her
Ontario
disability
human
rights,
and
locked
out
of
her
apartment
without
any
prior
notice
or
warning.
According
to
the
student,
her
time
in
the
residence
was
marred
by
a
series
of
incidents
that
left
her
feeling
marginalized
and
ignored.
She
alleges
that
her
requests
for
reasonable
accommodations
were
met
with
indifference
and
resistance,
making
it
extremely
challenging
for
her
to
navigate
her
daily
life
on
campus
and
caused
her
severe
distress
worsening
her
condition.
Furthermore,
the
student
claims
that
she
faced
ongoing
disrespect
and
emotional
turmoil
from
both
staff
members
and
fellow
associate
deans
/
administrators.
Instances
of
discriminatory
language,
microaggressions,
and
exclusionary
behavior
were
reported,
exacerbating
her
already
difficult
circumstances.
The
student
expresses
deep
disappointment
that
her
status
as
a
black
woman
with
an
approved
medical
disability
and
verified
documents,
appeared
to
contribute
to
the
lack
of
support
and
understanding
she
received.
The
most
distressing
incident,
however,
involved
being
unexpectedly
locked
out
of
her
apartment
multiple
times
without
any
notification
or
warning.
This
action
left
her
in
a
vulnerable
situation,
feeling
unsafe
and
violated.
Moreover,
she
alleges
that
she
was
manipulated
into
dismissing
her
Ontario
disability
human
rights,
adding
another
layer
of
violation
to
her
experience.
The
student's
claims
raise
serious
concerns
about
the
treatment
and
support
provided
to
marginalized
individuals
within
Humber
College's
residence.
It
is
essential
that
educational
institutions
like
Humber
College
prioritize
inclusivity,
respect,
and
the
protection
of
human
rights
for
all
their
students.
In
response
to
these
allegations,
Humber
College
administration
and
Officiate
Dean
has
done
nothing
in
response
to
these
allegations
nor
has
reported
to
the
serious
concerns
of
the
student
during
these
distressing
times.
This
incident
serves
as
a
reminder
of
the
importance
of
upholding
human
rights,
respect,
and
inclusivity
within
educational
institutions.
It
is
crucial
that
incidents
like
these
are
thoroughly
investigated
and
measures
are
implemented
to
prevent
any
future
violations,
ensuring
that
all
students
can
enjoy
a
safe
and
supportive
learning
environment.
Anita
hopes
to
raise
awareness
to
other
students
of
minority
who
wish
to
pursue
an
education
while
living
on
campus
amenities.
Humber
College
has
a
responsibility
to
prioritize
the
well-being
and
rights
of
all
its
students,
regardless
of
their
race,
gender,
or
disability.
