A university group in Toronto, Canada has come under fire for barring two white students from a campus event.
On March 11 the Racialized Students’ Collective (RSC), a group funded by mandatory student fees through the university’s student union, held a meeting on Ryerson University’s campus. The event, titled “Building an Anti-Racism Community on Campus,” was held in order to assist “Racialised students who are interested in action and awareness-raising for a more inclusive campus,” according to an invitational flyer.
First-year journalism students Julia Knope and Trevor Hewitt, who are white, attempted to attend the meeting, but were asked to leave by group organizer Chrys Saget-Richard.
“Julia and I walked into the room and after about four seconds, was approached by Saget-Richard and asked if we were there for the meeting. I answered yes. Saget-Richard then asked me if we had ever been racialized before. I replied that no, I had not,” Hewitt explained to Campus Reform.
It was at this point Hewitt and Knope explained to the organizers that they were attending the meeting as part of a class assignment.
