About

This form was created to support Waterloo Undergraduate Student Association’s (WUSA) broader advocacy efforts – with a focus on improving the experience for marginalized folks on campus.

Our hope is that by collecting information about incidents in which impacted students felt unsafe, unwelcome, or othered we can create policies and practices that better serve our members and work to make campus a safer, more inclusive place for all. De-identified and/or aggregated information from your submission may be shared with our advocacy partners within WUSA, EDI-R, and/or other relevant units on-campus.

If you are also seeking formal and/or individual trauma-informed support for your specific incident, please refer to the form created by the University of Waterloo Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Anti-racism or contact the Indigenous Relations Office if relevant. Other supports may be found at the bottom of this page.
