Toronto Guluwalks a mile in others’ shoes

This past Saturday thousands of people in over 100 cities across the world marched during the annual Guluwalk to show their support for the Acholi children of northern Uganda. The walk, founded in Toronto only two years ago by Adrian Bradbury and Kieran Hayward, has grown to be international in scope, and was recently named […]

Youth teach UN responsibility

While the opening ceremonies of the Global Conference on the Prevention of Genocide at McGill University presented a shocking personal perspective of mass murder, it was the following two days of panel discussions that would provide the most insight into the complex history, makeup and irrational success behind the subject of genocide. From Oct. 12-13, […]

UTSC student union censures prez

In a surprise motion last Friday, the Scarborough Campus Students’ Union narrowly voted to censure its president, Rob Wulkan. The vote was seven for and seven against, with Zuhair Syed, chair of the board of directors, breaking the tie. Two members (including Wulkan himself) abstained from voting. According to Jemy Joseph, VP academics, life sciences […]

‘Unwelcome guests’ sleep easy on campus

Hundreds of them walk around the grounds of the university’s downtown campus on any given day. For the most part, these non-community members— people who have no business with the university—roam around trouble-free. It’s often hard to tell that those simply passing through or frequenting the stores on U of T property, are neither students, […]

Vic closes the books on historic archives

After over a century on the U of T campus, the United Church of Canada/ Victoria University Archives are set to close in December. Housed in Victoria’s Emmanuel College, the archive contains the United Church of Canada’s national records, as well as other documents related to the history of the church and Victoria University. Since […]

Dallaire asks where we draw the line

Amidst all the great academics, politicians, lawyers, officials and students gathered together, it was an elderly Canadian from Montreal and a cynical mother from Rwanda who seemed to catch the most spirit and attention. That’s what happened last weekend when former UN Lt. General Romeo Dallaire and Rwandan activist Esther Mujawayo appeared in Montreal to […]

UTSU announces Student Commons levy referendum

Time has not been kind to the plan for the St. George campus Student Commons. The project to build a student-controlled downtown campus hub, perennially in the discussion phases, has been kicked around for nearly six decades. After being held back by competing visions and funding shortfalls for well over half a century, the centre […]

3 Toronto women honoured as very important persons

Three Toronto women are being honoured on October 18, the seventy- eighth anniversary of Canadian women being recognized as persons. The women were chosen by a selection committee, due to their “efforts in improving equitable treatment for women.” June Larken, the undergraduate coordinator for the Women and Gender Studies Institute at the U of T, […]

Students get revenge for all those Ds

Canadian students have turned the tables on their GPA overlords, in an outpouring of exasperation—and in some cases, contentment—with their university experience. U of T got a B for “overall satisfaction,” according to the Globe & Mail’s sixth annual University Report Card. Not bad—although the average marks for 53 universities ranged from B- to A+. […]

Battle for Burma

Hundreds of Torontonians marched to protest atrocities committed by the military junta in Burma (officially called the Union of Myanmar). Marchers demanded the immediate release of all political prisoners held by the junta, including Aung Sun Suu Kyi, the Burmese elected leader, who was never allowed to take office. The march was part of the […]

Ontario, the morning after

In Trinity-Spadina, the provincial riding that encompasses most of U of T’s downtown campus, Rosario Marchese of the NDP has won a 41 per cent majority. This riding was one of only five that voted in favour of electoral reform. The riding of Toronto-Centre, which encompasses St. Michael’s and Victoria Colleges, elected George Smitherman (Liberal). […]

Law designs unveiled

Rotman is not U of T’s only professional school with plans for a new building. The Law faculty is planning to build a major structure on its current site facing Queen’s Park to create more space to house faculty and accommodate students. The faculty has no plans to expand its enrolment. The new structure will […]

We would like to acknowledge that The Varsity's office is built on the traditional territory of several First Nations, including the Huron-Wendat, the Petun First Nations, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit. Journalists have historically harmed Indigenous communities by overlooking their stories, contributing to stereotypes, and telling their stories without their input. Therefore, we make this acknowledgement as a starting point for our responsibility to tell those stories more accurately, critically, and in accordance with the wishes of Indigenous peoples.
