History
The office is the outcome of an idea from 2016, when Michelle Plouffe, MacEwan’s general counsel and vice-president, governance, realized the university was missing a resource for students facing discrimination. Michelle spent over a year researching what human rights departments look like at other Canadian universities, while also hosting workshops for staff, faculty and students, and finding budget dollars. In February 2018, Irfan Chaudhry became the first director.
