1/ 🚨 Serious Concerns at Our College 🚨 Students are facing severe challenges during the investigation process, raising urgent questions about fairness, transparency, and accountability. 🔴 Investigations drag on for months, creating immense psychological pressure.

1. It is inhumane for a student to be forced to remain silent by an educational institution. Whether it's contracts or email bans, it's unacceptable for students to be forced to stay silent.

2. College administrators should protect their reputation by addressing wrongs, not by silencing students. We strongly condemn any attempt to force silence. Imagine being the student who experienced a sad event in 2016, then being pressured to sign a document. How would you feel?

4/5 students have every right to escalate and in this case, the matter has reached the Ontario Ombudsman and the Ministry of Colleges and Universities. This isn’t just about one case. It’s about whether any student can trust the system to be fair. @OntHumanRights

5/5 Educational institutions must be held to the same standards they impose on students. If they don’t follow their own rules, students are not obligated to quietly accept the consequences. Rights are not optional. Policies are not suggestions. @fordnation @nolanmquinn @ONgov
