Toronto Metropolitan University’s president says renaming the school has been an important part of its commitment to reconciliation
A year after Ryerson University was reintroduced to the public with a new name – a major move in addressing problematic colonial legacies – its president says the school’s updated identity has helped bring a previously divided campus community together.
The university had faced calls for years to change its name and cut ties with its former namesake, Egerton Ryerson, considered an architect of Canada’s residential school system. Months later, just before the fall semester began, a special task force employed to address the legacy of Ryerson released 22 recommendations – all accepted by the university’s board of governors – including a recommendation to change the school’s name.
“The lesson for all our community was really the importance of community engagement, discussion and dialogue,” he said. “Unfortunately, the progress has stalled after that. It’s almost as though the university gave us the name change and now, the era of reconciliation at the university is over.”
