WCW: Where do you want to move the Human Rights Office? What do you think its budget should be?

Posted by Allison Williams on January 27, 2008 @ 02:40 p.m. CST

Categories: AMS

When Irene Bujara, the executive director of the Human Rights Office, spoke with us, she mentioned a few different places that would be better for the office. However it is not about a specific location but about a space that is accessible, more private and sufficiently large enough for the office to continue its internship program and the operation of its resource library.

Similarly, Team WCW cannot cite an arbitrary amount of what the operating budget should be raised to. We simply know that 12,000 dollars is insufficient for the office to effectively run programming. The employees of the office spend a significant amount of time seeking grants and worrying about money, while the budget barely allows them to keep their resources in print. We want this office to be better supported and financed to show Queen’s commitment to human rights and student well-being.
