I think it upholds and promotes it. That’s what universities are all about, man.
Madison Sutherland, third-year student, education

Absolutely. University of Winnipeg in particular stands for diversity and they express that through allowing freedom of expression.
Olena Kozel, second-year student, arts

Yes. I feel that everyone comes from a different place and it’s important to express that.
Michael Benjamin Brown, professional artist

Academia puts forward a single method of learning - a male-centric method based on reading and writing. This can be restricting because not everyone’s mode of output and expression is the same.
Keith Price, professional musician

Yes, they are doing what they can. There are groups for all types of people with different opinions at universities. It’s not perfect, but it’s not easy to do either.

For the most part. Some institutions like to keep certain things uniform though.
