(UNB Declaration of Rights and Responsibilities)
Services of the office are open to all members of the university community. We work with individual students, faculty and staff as well as student groups, staff unions and associations, administrative and academic units and groups of leaders, managers and instructors.
The office provides and/or collaborates to develop educational and awareness training on numerous human rights matters that can be tailored to the needs of your group or unit. We are willing to work with members of the community to design such programs to suit their individual needs, in terms of subject matter, educational approach, location, time and date and duration of the session.
We also serve as the central point of first contact and referral for any member with human rights concerns in order to provide confidential advice and discuss informal supports with the goal of early and informal resolution and problem solving. The office manages and refers formal discrimination and harassment complaints (see UNB's Discrimination, Sexual Harassment, and Harrassment Policy) when appropriate and liaises with relevant university offices to ensure fair and timely supports are provided.
