June 30, 2020

Dear President Bacon,

We are a group of Carleton University professors, lecturers, librarians, students, staff, and alumni who stand in solidarity with Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) who are working to dismantle centuries of systemic racism that has been woven into the fabric of our society.

We welcomed your recent statement situating the recent killings of George Floyd, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Ahmaud Arbery, Abdirahman Abdi, and all too many others, within intergenerational memories and histories of police and state violence against Black, Brown, and Indigenous peoples on the continent. We, too, are committed to engaging honestly with this history of violence. We are also committed to addressing the direct and outspoken racism, hate-speech and microaggressions that Black students, staff, and faculty at Carleton have regularly reported on campus.

We believe that ending anti-Black racism requires broad-based systemic and institutional change across all sectors of society, including formal education. To move beyond existing structures, philosophies, and histories of white supremacy, anti-Black racism, and colonial racism – as well as symbolic, performative gestures – Carleton must not only create changes to the content of pedagogy and research. It must also address the ongoing legacies of oppression within which pedagogy and research take place.

In studying, working, and consulting with faculty, students, and staff across the university, as well as our alumni and national and international partners, we have repeatedly heard that Black life “feels small” and underwhelming at Carleton. In the effort to organize against anti-Black racism where we are situated, and to foster effective change, we call on Carleton to take the following steps:

1. Demonstrate its commitment to creating “a campus community in which everyone has a sense of physical and psychological safety as well as a sense of belonging” by re-assessing its relationship with the police.

2. Provide concrete commitments to the hiring, retention, and promotion of Black faculty.

3. Create an initiative and steering group for the study of racism and racialization that will enhance research, teaching, and program development in Black Studies and Critical Race Studies in existing units.

4. Fund anti-racist and Black-led student and faculty research.

5. Address the hostile culture and oppressive environments that reproduce anti-Black racism in our community.

6. Generate accurate disaggregated data on the racial backgrounds of students, faculty members, and other employees.

7. Support the significant number of BIPOC in custodial and maintenance services who require a living wage and environmentally safe working conditions.

8. Commit to evaluating its investment portfolios and relationship to the military.
 

 
1)   Demonstrate Carleton’s commitment to creating “a campus community in which everyone has a sense of physical and psychological safety as well as a sense of belonging” by re-assessing our relationship to the police
 
Anti-black policing has deep roots in Ottawa, dating back to the earliest days of this city. In the last fifty years, the Ottawa Police Service has disproportionately profiled, arrested, and harmed Black Ottawans. Given this reality, Carleton’s existing security relationship with the Ottawa Police Service must be examined and significantly revised to ensure that we do not legitimate or perpetuate state violence and aggressive racist policing.

To achieve this, we call for the creation of a task force with the mandate to introduce new protocols for Carleton security that minimize reliance on the police, incorporate anti-racist principles into Campus Safety policies, and training,  and ensure a safe campus for the Black community. This task force should also work with members of other communities disproportionately targeted by police, including Indigenous people. Black members of this task force, as well as other members representing disproportionately targeted groups, must be compensated for their time, or given time off from their usual duties, to participate.
 
 
2)   Provide concrete commitments to the hiring, retention, and promotion of Black faculty
 
Heartened and emboldened by other Canadian institutions, such as OCADU, Queen’s, York, and McGill, which have each hired 4-5 Black Studies faculty members in the last two years – as well as FASS’s recent announcement that it will undertake a strategic hire in anti-Black racism or a related subject –  we call for a commitment to the strategic hiring, over the next five years, of six Black tenure-track faculty members who are trained in or otherwise centre Black Studies or Critical Race Studies in their research. While the arts, humanities, and social sciences are the most obvious places for such hires, we encourage consideration of hires in STEM and other disciplines as well. Such hires will increase capacity for interdisciplinary research in the minor in Critical Race Studies being proposed by the Institute of Women’s and Gender Studies. They will also provide critical support for interdisciplinary teaching, research, and program development within the Institute of African Studies, which has lost four Africanist colleagues over the past two years.
 
To seriously address the question of retention, we call for a study that will interview Black faculty members who have departed Carleton. This study will learn about their experiences at Carleton, the factors that led to their departure, and any suggestions that they might have about making Carleton a more attractive and welcoming  place for Black scholars. It should be supplemented with a campus-wide anonymous survey of current Black faculty, students and staff would also provide additional information regarding the tremendous and multiform obstacles they face.
 
We support the ongoing calls to revise the format and role of teaching evaluations in tenure and promotions and establish clear and transparent tenure and promotion standards across the university that permit departments and faculty boards to use multi-modal evaluations when reviewing a file.
 

3)   Create an initiative and steering group for the study of racism and racialization that will enhance research, teaching, and program development in Black Studies and Critical Race Studies in existing units
 
To support new hires and their retention and promotion at Carleton, we call on Carleton to enhance its interdisciplinary and cross-faculty research, teaching, and program development in Black Studies and Critical Race Studies.

We call for the creation of an initiative and steering group for the study of racism and racialization that will serve as a dynamic interdisciplinary and cross-faculty research cluster. This steering group will provide critical support for initiatives such as a Black Studies Certificate as well as other initiatives such as the minor in Critical Race Studies being proposed by the Institute of Women’s and Gender Studies. It will also be a hub for the development of cross-disciplinary anti-racist curricula, and ensure that all units consider ways to ensure that syllabi and curriculum offerings are diverse in and of themselves and that this work does not fall only to BIPOC faculty. It will include student representation, enrich the experience of graduates and undergraduates, support Carleton’s commitment to global citizenship and an International Decade for People of African Descent, and create, and equip students with resources to think and live through moments of profound change.
 

4)   Fund anti-racist and Black-led student and faculty research
 
We call for a commitment to funding anti-racist research at Carleton, including the creation of $250,000 in new scholarships for Black undergraduate and graduate students, new research grants and assistantships geared toward Black undergraduate and graduate students, and the creation of a pre-doctoral fellowship in Critical Race Studies for Black scholars doing transformative work. Black scholars and research with Black communities are chronically underfunded across Canadian institutions. Research on Black communities is rarely community-based, which means scholarship seldom benefits the very communities on which that research is conducted on.

We also call for a commitment to promoting and disseminating Black scholarship in and beyond the university through the funding of lecture series, through public relations activities across various university units (e.g., the library, archives, alumni relations, admissions and recruitment, Dominion-Chalmers Centre), through the purchasing and commissioning of artwork for the university by Black artists, through support and promotion of Black cultural events (e.g. film festivals, literary readings, poetry and musical performances), through creation or preservation of Black community archives in the National Capital Region, through the dismantling of systems which prevent residents from accessing libraries, talks and resources, and through other means.

Initiatives such as the Afro-Caribbean Mentorship program and the Barber Shop Talks have begun this work of supporting Black scholarship and research at Carleton and within the Black communities of the National Capital Region. We call for expanded and permanent funding for such initiatives, including a coordinator position and an account for project funding and engagement with related research, policy, and practitioner communities at the local, national, and international levels. This coordinator can work with the Racism and Racialization steering group to help to allocate the scholarships and research grants for Black students mentioned above.
 
 
5)   Address the hostile culture and oppressive environments that reproduce anti-Black racism at Carleton
 
We support the calls of students to make the completion of an  anti-racist course mandatory for all undergraduate degrees at the University of Ottawa and Carleton University. We also call for:

-reviews of the anti-racist training provided within applied research and professional programs;

-clear guidelines about hate-speech in the classroom and investment in mental health and counselling services, geared toward Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour students;

-the informal counselling provided by BIPOC faculty members to be recognized as a component of their required university service;

-the hiring of more counsellors to reduce wait times;

-the hiring of BIPOC counsellors who specialize in anti-racism and decolonization to support the needs of Black and minority staff and students;

-established and accessible pathways to care for faculty: commonly, employee and family assistance programs through university insurance plans do not explicitly deal with racism;

-the creation of a student at-risk program that will provide material support for Black students who may be at risk of dropping out due to various factors (including, but not limited to, poverty, homelessness, immigration status, stress and trauma related to anti-black racism);

-commemoration and celebration of the contributions of Black people and Black social and political movements to Carleton, Canada and the world (in, for example, the naming of campus buildings and initiatives, placement of plaques, and erection of statues).  

More broadly, we call for proactive investments in anti-racist education and resources for Carleton faculty, administrators, governors, and employees. Such investments should expand diversity training measures beyond a psychological emphasis on problems such as unconscious bias. White privilege must be recognized as an issue incubated by the wider culture and the university system itself. Just as all departments and units consider ways to ensure that syllabi and curriculum offerings are diverse in and of themselves and that this work does not fall only to BIPOC faculty, all members of the university must be held responsible for the wellbeing of BIPOC who are peers, colleagues, and students.
 

6)   Generate accurate disaggregated data on the racial backgrounds of students, faculty members and other employees at Carleton
 
Carleton University is a public institution with a duty to its constituents. We thus call for a commitment to generate accurate disaggregated data on the racial backgrounds of students, faculty members, and other employees. This data is essential to identify any systemic problems that may inform the recruitment, retention, and graduation rates of Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour at Carleton.

Building on the analysis of a Gender Wage Gap at Carleton, we call on the university to conduct a Race Wage Gap analysis to understand how the University values Black and minority ethnic labour relative to White labour. The results of this study should be made public.
 

7)   Support the significant number of BIPOC in custodial and maintenance services who require a living wage and environmentally safe working conditions

The disproportionate health and economic effects of the coronavirus pandemic on Black working-class communities have made the ramifications of racial and class inequalities abundantly clear.

We believe that Carleton has a responsibility to ensure environmentally safe working conditions for everyone who works on campus, including BIPOC in custodial services and facility maintenance. We call on the University to ensure that Carleton is a living wage employer that provides secure work and supportive contracts at all levels.
 

8) Commit to evaluating Carleton’s investment portfolios and relationship to the military
 
We call on Carleton to evaluate its investment portfolios to ensure that it is not funding systemic racism. A starting point could be consulting this list and universities that have deinvested from companies that exacerbate racial inequalities by profiting from mass incarceration and immigration detention centres.

We take seriously Carleton’s heritage as an institution that served veterans returning from World War Two and supported their formal education and transition to civilian life. We are concerned that the contemporary use of Carleton’s facilities to train military personnel subverts this relationship.  Given the failure of the Canadian Armed Forces to define ‘hateful conduct,’ and that Canadian armed forces members are seen as important recruits for the extreme right, we call on Carleton to no longer provide its facilities for the training of military personnel.

More broadly, we call on Carleton to re-assess its relationship to policing, military research, the correctional establishment, border control, the oil economy, and other areas of governance and surveillance in course and curriculum delivery, research and funding partnerships, and other institutional processes.
 

We, the undersigned, do not propose that these calls provide an exhaustive list of ways to fight racism. We do, however, believe that these specific, actionable, and measurable prescriptions will help us to take ambitious strides towards building an anti-racist campus and establishing clear and transparent guidelines, policies and initiatives that will hold us accountable to the communities we serve.
