Shawna Cunningham, director of the university's Native Centre, says the campus has worked hard to create a welcoming environment for minorities, but more needs to be done. She said U of C needs an Ombuds office, to raise awareness of discrimination issues and educate the staff and students so they can be prevented. An Ombuds program has been considered by the administration in the past, although no details were developed. (Calgary Herald; BOG Minutes, 1/25/07; GSA Minutes, 4/23/03.)
