When Miranda Green-Barteet heard about the triple stabbing that took place in a gender studies classroom at the University of Waterloo in Ontario last month, she says she was "saddened" but "not shocked."
After the stabbing, Green-Barteet said her faculty is planning to evaluate safety in classrooms over the summer. “Universities by their very nature are places of inquiry and academic freedom...where ideas need to be discussed, they need to be argued, they need to be countered, they need to be thoroughly examined, but in a place of safety and in a place of tolerance,” Philip Landon, CEO of Universities Canada, told The Canadian Press.
