For Information
by Netha Dyck 24 Nov '23

24 Nov '23

Dear Colleagues, As you may have heard, there is a post on social media claiming that one of our nursing students was suspended for “criticizing Israeli violence against Palestinians.” The message is encouraging a letter writing campaign and various UM email accounts have received several hundred emails as a result. We do not intend to respond to these emails given the volume and that the majority are from outside the university community. I am providing the following messages that you can use to respond to potential concerns raised by students: The University of Manitoba does not suspend students for exercising freedom of speech. UM follows a robust and rigorous process to review matters of academic and non-academic misconduct<%5bhttps:/umanitoba.ca/governance/sites/governance/files/2021-09/Student%20Non-Academic%20Misconduct%20and%20Concerning%20Behaviour%20Procedure%20-%202021_09_01.pdf%5d> and adheres to several policies and procedures including our Respectful Workplace and Learning Environment Policy <https://umanitoba.ca/governance/sites/governance/files/2021-06/Respectful%2…> and Violent and Threatening Behaviour Policy<%5bhttps:/umanitoba.ca/sites/default/files/2021-01/violent_or_threatening_behaviour_policy_-_2020_03_09.pdf%5d>. Decisions are made only after careful consideration of the circumstances and evidence. Any student facing an allegation of misconduct is offered the support from our Student Advocacy Office<https://umanitoba.ca/student-supports/academic-supports/student-advocacy> to navigate the process, and always has an opportunity to appeal. The suspension of a student found in breach of our misconduct policies for multiple terms, or a full academic year is a common penalty for more serious violations. Out of respect for privacy, UM cannot provide details specific to disciplinary cases. Every student who is suspended receives a detailed letter outlining the reasons for their suspension. Please contact me if you have questions. If you receive any media inquiries, please direct them to: Eleanor Coopsammy (she/her) Director, Media Relations & Issues Management Office of the Vice-President (External) University of Manitoba Eleanor.Coopsammy(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:Eleanor.Coopsammy@umanitoba.ca> Sincerely, Netha Dr. Netha Dyck, RN, EdD, CHE, I-FCNEI, I-FCAN Dean, College of Nursing, Rady Faculty of Health Sciences Helen Glass Centre for Nursing 89 Curry Place Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2 <image001.png> Tel: 204-474-9201 Cell: 204-891-1883 Email: netha.dyck(a)umanitoba.ca<mailto:netha.dyck@umanitoba.ca> Website: www.umanitoba.ca/nursing<http://www.umanitoba.ca/nursing>

As such, the Workplace Culture committee has been asked to host consultation sessions to gather more detailed perspectives from you in relation to the two main themes that emerged: i) a desire for more communication, transparency, and discussion around day-to-day processes and decisions in the CON; and ii) increasing presence/engagement of faculty and staff. Please join us to engage in an open group discussion about what we want these aspects of our workplace environment to look like and how we can get there! Instructors and Tenure-Track Faculty: Wednesday November 22nd at 12:00pm (in-person Room 326 Helen Glass) Thursday November 30th at 2:00pm (MS Teams) *feel free to attend one or both sessions Support Staff: Monday November 27th at 2:00pm (in-person Room 218 Helen Glass) Directors and Administration Team: Monday December 4th at 3:00pm (in-person Room 218 Helen Glass) We hope you will take the time to join us and contribute to enhancing the workplace culture at the College of Nursing!
