Dick Gariepy For UTM Campus Council

With a decade in post-secondary education, I've seen the threat of normative violence to students' well-being. Our diverse university reflects societal structures but succumbs to outdated norms. Let's challenge these practices by reducing policy ambiguity, prioritizing academic validity, and eliminating disabling policies. My vision is a paradigm shift, creating a unique university that mirrors every student's identity and recognizes the dialectical relationship between the individual and the collective academic spirit.
