A racism scandal has hit the University of Victoria.

Days after university l, the university is looking into social media posts where individuals, presumably students, are mocking First Nations.

A Sept. 16 showed young men pretending to get drunk off Lysol disinfectant wipes, captioned with a racist slur describing First Nations peoples using the cleaner in the same way.

University of Victoria president Jamie Cassels said in a Facebook post that the university has now identified people believed to be involved and are investigating the matter under the university香蕉视频直播檚 policies on discrimination and harassment, and non-academic student misconduct.

香蕉视频直播淭hat such behaviour has taken place within our community is deeply concerning to university leaders and members, and is contrary to our commitment to an inclusive and respectful environment that provides a positive living, learning and working space for all,香蕉视频直播� said Cassels. 香蕉视频直播淵et we know that discriminatory and racist attitudes continue to exist, and this reinforces the importance of education and the responsibility of educational institutions to promote better understanding.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淲e will not permit incidents like this to deflect our movement toward these important goals, but instead take them as proof of the need to redouble our efforts in the pursuit of reconciliation.香蕉视频直播�
