Discrimination complaint process

Dalhousie University is committed to safeguarding its students and employees against all forms of prohibited discrimination and personal harassment. As such, Human Rights & Equity Services (HRES) operates in accordance with the Nova Scotia Human Rights Act as well as with the Dalhousie policies that fall within the mandate of the office. 
 
HRES acknowledges the concept of intersectional discrimination. We recognize that people’s lives involve multiple interrelated identities and that marginalization and exclusion may exist because of how these identities intersect. 
 
When appropriate HRES outcomes are remedial in nature. This may involve coaching, conflict resolution, and/or educational processes to build knowledge and strengthen skills to effect both attitudinal and behavioural change.
