Open discussion of issues is encouraged at UBC, and we expect that all dialogue and debate at UBC will be respectful and open. The right to strike is legal, the right to respect a picket line is legal, as is the decision to cross a picket line. No one should suffer discrimination or threats from exercising their legal rights.
The university expects members of the community to maintain a respectful environment for working, learning and living, in which respect, civility, opportunity and inclusion are valued.
We are all expected to uphold these principles in our communications and interactions with fellow community members and the public, in all university-related settings.
