Celebrating UM alumnus Dr. James Peebles’ Nobel Prize
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 08 Oct '19

08 Oct '19

Good Afternoon, On behalf of the entire extended University of Manitoba family of students, staff, faculty and alumni, I want to convey how deeply proud we are of UM graduate and acclaimed cosmologist Dr. James Peebles — for winning the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics<https://news.umanitoba.ca/um-alumnus-wins-nobel-prize-in-physics/>, and demonstrating for all the world to see, as we have claimed about the University of Manitoba for years, "from here, you can go anywhere," including across galaxies. Dr. Peebles, recognized as one of the most highly regarded cosmologists, was cited for “theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology,” and shares the award with two Swiss astronomers, Michel Mayor, 77, and Didier Queloz, 53, who discovered a planet orbiting a binary star. We have a proud tradition of nurturing great thinkers and doers here, and today, in celebrating Dr. Peebles' extraordinary achievement, I am sure we are inspiring new generations of scientists and others striving to understand all aspects of the world in which we live. For those that are nearby, I invite you to join us on Fort Garry campus to celebrate Dr. Peebles’ accomplishment in the Science Student Lounge, main level, room 209 in Armes Lecture Theatre at 12:30 p.m., Oct. 8. Thank you. Sincerely, David David T. Barnard, O.M., Ph.D., FRSC President and Vice-Chancellor 202 Administration Building, University of Manitoba Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Canada Email: president(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:president@umanitoba.ca> [cid:image002.png@01D57DD4.9DE97840]

Good afternoon, As was reported<https://news.umanitoba.ca/sexual-violence-report-being-reviewed/> to the community on July 19, the report I requested last year to help guide the University of Manitoba to better address sexual violence, harassment and discrimination has been completed. I commend co-authors Donna Miller and Helga Van Iderstine for their hard work on this independent review, titled Responding to Sexual Violence, Harassment & Discrimination at the University of Manitoba: A Path Forward. The result is a comprehensive, robust report that makes 43 recommendations, all of which I accept and am committed to implementing. Today, I invite all of you to join me and the vice-presidents on Tuesday, September 17 at 2:30 pm in the Manitoba Room, UMSU University Centre, where I will share the report and discuss the first steps to engaging the University community in moving forward on the recommendations. I am pleased to add that Ms. Van Iderstine has agreed to join us for this community session to explain the process underpinning the report. The entire report will be made available online immediately after the session. I hope to see you there, as we continue to work together to ensure the University of Manitoba provides students, faculty, staff and visitors an inclusive, respectful and safe environment.

Possible Winnipeg Transit Work Stoppage
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 29 Aug '19

29 Aug '19

[cid:image002.jpg@01D531AE.174C13F0] Dear new and returning students: We welcome you to another exciting year of learning and growth. As you may have seen in the media, there is the potential for a Winnipeg transit work stoppage (no deadline has been set), which could impact those who rely on the service to commute to and from campus. Please note that in the event of a strike, classes and other operations of the University will continue. The University respects the bargaining process between the City of Winnipeg and the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1505. As we await further updates we have begun planning for various contingencies. In the event of a work stoppage, we will be asking students, faculty and staff to find alternative ways to come to campus (such as car pools, Go-Manitoba Ride Share, bikes, etc.). As this situation unfolds over the coming days, we will contact you with more information, including a link to a dedicated website with FAQs. Have a great long-weekend - see you next week!

Introducing our new logo - Message from David T. Barnard, President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Manitoba
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 12 Jun '19

12 Jun '19

Dear students, Universities have stories to tell: about who they are, their values, their priorities. At the University of Manitoba, we are all a part of that story, and our visual identity - the look and feel of the materials we produce - provides us with a recognizable vehicle with which to express ourselves and connect with those who care about us and the work we do. That visual identity, like the other components of our collective story, occasionally requires refreshing. Over time, we evolve, we grow, we change. And so do our story and the means of telling that story. Today, the launch of our new brand begins with the introduction of a new logo. Watch it here: https://vimeo.com/umanitoba/logointroduction When we started down this road a year ago, many of you shared your ideas and perspectives. Thank you for this. Our journey has been one of thoughtful dialogue and exchange. A logo has been developed that reflects who we are, acknowledges our past, and also, most importantly, looks forward to our future, to who we can and want to be. In particular, I am pleased that the new logo has been informed by Indigenous perspectives, true to this university's vision statement. In the accompanying video, you will see and hear from some participants who brought their voice to the brand development process. They worked closely together and with others involved in this process challenged this institution to deliver a logo that is authentic, powerful and resonant. In the coming days and weeks, you will see our new logo revealed. My sincere hope is that all of us who are a part of the University of Manitoba community find something in the new visual expression that speaks to our understanding of this transformative institution. This new visual identity<http://umanitoba.ca/admin/mco/brand/index.html> is one part of our collective story, intended to help all us build bridges with our partners and audiences. As it launches and enables new, more meaningful connections, we will continue to engage in the vibrant conversation with our community on how the University of Manitoba can best serve its core mission of learning, discovery and outreach. Sincerely, David David T. Barnard, O.M., Ph.D., FRSC President and Vice-Chancellor 202 Administration Building, University of Manitoba Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Canada Email: president(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:president@umanitoba.ca> [cid:image002.png@01D52131.68A42680]

24 May '19

Good morning, The University of Manitoba is proud to continue being a supporter of the Pride Winnipeg Festival and Parade, and I invite and encourage all members of the University community, including our alumni and friends, to participate in the events and walk with us in the Pride Parade on Sunday, June 2. The University of Manitoba is committed to creating an outstanding learning and work environment and building a culture of inclusion on our campuses. Many members of the U of M family count themselves as members of the 2SLGBTQ+ community and we are working to ensure that the University of Manitoba is a place where the queer community is welcomed and successful. To celebrate diversity on our campuses, the Pride flag will be raised and flown throughout Pride Week. Students, faculty and staff are invited to a special ceremony on Monday, May 27 at 9 a.m. in the Brodie Centre Atrium at the Bannatyne campus to show their support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community. To find out more about many activities happening on our campuses and to register to walk with us in the Parade, visit umanitoba.ca/umqueer<http://umanitoba.ca/admin/human_resources/equity/6284.html>.

Message from President Barnard to UM Community on sexual violence
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 13 Mar '19

13 Mar '19

Good afternoon, I have shared many messages with our community reiterating my commitment - and that of the University's leadership team - to supporting a culture of respect, safety and inclusion on our campuses. It is important that we give voice to issues that matter, like sexual violence and harassment. It is even more important that we listen and act upon what we hear. Last spring, discussions began around the drafting of new sexual violence and respectful work and learning environment policies. A number of avenues were made available to our students, alumni, staff and faculty to share input about these key policies and their impacts. Anonymous and confidential feedback systems were put in place last spring; more than 20 stakeholder engagement sessions were held over the summer and fall, and an optional survey<http://umanitoba.ca/student/media/Sexual-Violence-Survey-Summary-2019.pdf> was sent to all students. The feedback gathered<http://umanitoba.ca/student/rwle-sa-policy-review/index.html> has been invaluable and led to updates and improvements to the proposed policies, which are currently in draft stage. The goal is to present these policies to the University's Board of Governors for consideration in June 2019. More than influencing policy development, the thoughtful, personal, and often pointed feedback we received has helped to enrich our educational materials and opportunities. While there is much more to do, and certainly additional resources to come, I am pleased that today I can announce the launch of a sexual violence awareness online course on UM Learn<https://universityofmanitoba.desire2learn.com/d2l/login>, which covers many of the key themes highlighted during last year's stakeholder engagement sessions. Containing foundational information on sexual violence, these five video-based modules are available for all members of our community and I encourage each of you to take the time to watch each one. They cover crucial topics, including consent, policies and procedures, common myths and available resources. I recently completed the course and I ask all of my colleagues - both faculty and staff - as well as all members of the student community, to do the same. It is our collective responsibility to educate ourselves around sexual violence on campus. I would like to thank all of you who took the time to engage in candid conversations, either online, or at a stakeholder session. The questions you raised, issues you identified and solutions you offered will continue to guide us as we move ever forward towards creating a culture of consent, respect, trust and inclusivity. For more information, visit http://umanitoba.ca/sexual-violence/ Sincerely, David David T. Barnard, O.M., Ph.D., FRSC President and Vice-Chancellor 202 Administration Building, University of Manitoba Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Canada Email: president(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:president@umanitoba.ca> [cid:image001.png@01D4D996.378D5CC0]

Message from David T. Barnard, President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Manitoba
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 02 Nov '18

[cid:image001.jpg@01D47295.5FF9FFA0] It has come to my attention that a number of racist posters have been posted on the University of Manitoba campuses as part of what is understood to be a coordinated international effort by neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups. The University unequivocally condemns this and any other racist actions. There is no tolerance for hate and discrimination, as I made clear yesterday in my remarks at the vigil in honour of the shooting victims in Pittsburgh: We share a sense of revulsion and need to act because of what we see happening around us. The treatment of refugees. The tone of anger and hatred in political discourse. The installation of corrupt regimes. A distressing number of hate crimes. Terrorist attacks. As a place of higher learning, we are focused on scholarship; on the generation and passing on of knowledge and, I hope, a search for wisdom. Underpinning this broad idea is a shared perspective that working together - in community - is the best way to achieve this outcome. We must fight back against ignorance with knowledge. Against intolerance and racism with inclusiveness and acceptance. Against complacency with our words and our actions. The University has removed those posters that have been identified and Security Services is already investigating this incident. Anyone identifying additional locations is asked to bring them to the attention of Security Services as well. Yesterday evening, I hosted a Visionary Conversations event that focused on the responsibilities of global leadership, bringing together strong voices from a variety of perspectives. Anyone attending would have been inspired by the thoughtfulness and caring expressed by our speakers and the members of our audience, and the resolve of this community to stand together against bigotry and hate.

Information regarding the legalization of recreational cannabis
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 16 Oct '18

16 Oct '18

[Title: U of M Header - Description: Message from Susan M. Gottheil, Vice-Provost (Students)] Recreational cannabis is now legal across the country, and you may have questions about whether you can legally possess and consume it on University property. The University of Manitoba will be following federal and provincial laws, which means that smoking or vaping cannabis is prohibited on campus, including within all residences. Students with a prescription for marijuana will be accommodated through an allowance within the guidelines of the Clean Air policy that permits smoking at least 25 feet or 8 metres from an outside entrance. The growing of cannabis is prohibited on campus, as is its sale. The cannabis rules for students living in residence will be consistent with legalization laws and the University policy but will provide more specific rules and sanctions. The University will address inappropriate behaviour that causes risk or harm to people or property as a result of substance use through its normal student disciplinary procedures. Learn more about the University's approach to cannabis legalization, and some of the supports available, by reading the UM Today story here<http://news.umanitoba.ca/cannabis-policy-on-campus/>.

Message from President Barnard on Sexual Violence
by UM Student E-Mail Accounts 05 Sep '18

05 Sep '18

As the University of Manitoba welcomes 30,000 students to its campus for a new academic year, I wish each of our students a successful year. I want to take this time to reiterate my commitment to a culture of respect, safety, consent and prevention - a place where we can all be comfortable and that we can all call home while we are here. The University has been expanding our support services for students - both in how to identify and how to report any form of sexual violence. I am committed to mandatory education on sexual violence, consent and power relationships and will work with faculty, staff and students to ensure the appropriate levels of support and training are provided. Incidents of inappropriate behaviour at this University have been reported and investigated over the last few years. Inappropriate behaviour, including sexual harassment and sexual assault on campus is unacceptable, and, quite honestly, I find such conduct to be horrible and appalling. Today, I am apologizing to students who have experienced such inappropriate behaviour. I am deeply sorry. My promise to you is that we will do everything possible to shape a safe and healthy environment, and we will deal expeditiously with all violations that are reported. The Vice-Provost (Students), Susan Gottheil, has provided more details<http://news.umanitoba.ca/a-message-from-vice-provost-students-and-sexual-vi…> around resources available to all members of our community<http://news.umanitoba.ca/educating-our-community-on-sexual-violence/>. I also want to provide a correction to the community of some recent statements: In preparing for today's message, I discovered last Wednesday that we have issued letters of employment to individuals that contained more information than I consider appropriate. The document provided to Steve Kirby as a letter of employment - that I understood to be a mere chronology of his time at the University - in fact also included an outline of activities and achievements, that, though factual, could be construed as supportive. The inclusion of this material was a mistake that must not be repeated. The letter in no way recommended him for any position. Anywhere. So in the interest of disclosure and our commitment to move forward, I have released the letter to the media today. When someone has left the University following an investigation where there have been violations found, I believe a letter of employment should simply state: the start date, end date and titles or roles that the person held. To identify possible improvements, I am asking Donna Miller, QC, to co-lead a careful search and examination of our processes. Donna Miller, an accomplished lawyer and passionate civil servant, is the first woman in Manitoba to become clerk of the province's Executive Council. She was appointed Queen's Counsel and she received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Award for her contribution to public service. We are in the process of confirming the other co-lead and will have more details soon. I am specifically asking Ms. Miller to look at our policies, procedures and execution in such cases, and to provide us with a report on how we can do this better going forward. We will investigate how those accused and those found to be in violation are dealt with in terms of our contractual obligations, employment status, letters of employment, references, and so on. Although I can't speak to specifics, I also want to tell you today that there are other investigations ongoing now. We are committed to due process and to protecting the confidentiality of those with the courage to come forward. I am confident that when people are able to come forward and share their experiences confidentially and have them dealt with, we are all stronger for it. These recent issues have caused us to pause and reaffirm our commitment to a culture where sexual harassment and sexual assault are not acceptable. We won't tolerate this on our campuses. I won't tolerate this on our campuses. I am committed to making this the University we all want it to be. And I look forward to your support in promoting this as a culture of respect, consent, safety and prevention. [cid:image001.png@01D44523.B15D4A40] David T.
