On January 31, 2023, the York administration fired Lydia Dosu, a Black woman who has worked at York University for over 24 years.

In 2019, Lydia filed a complaint at the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO), regarding her experience of anti-Black racism and discrimination in the workplace at Glendon College.

Lydia's complaint, which remains unresolved, is just one of at least eight known HRTO applications about anti-Black racism at York in recent years.

In its termination letter, York made the outrageous claim that Lydia represents a "health and safety risk" to other (non-Black) employees for filing complaints about anti-Black racism.

York based its decision on a report by an investigator who is facing allegations of anti-Black racism and discrimination at the HRTO since 2020, along with York University President Rhonda Lenton and other senior administrators.

The Campaign Against Anti-Black Racism is supporting Lydia's fight for reinstatement. Like her, we are sick and tired of seeing Black people lose their jobs as retaliation for speaking out against anti-Black racism.

Sign now and demand justice for Lydia, and for all Black people at York University.
