Another update: I have met with the newly appointed human right officer at Regis along with a designated hearing officer for an interview in early October. After receiving the interim report produced by the designate hearing officer on October 31, the new president of Regis retained investigators to undertake an independent Investigation by November 4. I was just informed yesterday that the investigators have finished their inquires and will come up with the report within this week. I will share the results with you when I receive the report. I have to say I am very disappointed at Regis administration, the time lag and the fact that TST and U of T couldn't do much when a student is discriminated by a Faculty at its member college. If you are a minority student who are thinking about applying to Toronto School of Theology, choose its member college carefully.

During the season of pandemic, one of my professors used audio recordings of his lecture made in 2013, 2018 and 2019 to teach the class. Is this really appropriate? The audio recordings are of very low quality and have lots of noises. In the audio recording, I can hear students coughing, moving their chairs making sharp sounds. With all these noises I couldn't hear what the professor said in the recording. I asked for lecture transcripts but the professor refused. The ppt handouts were not quite useful since I couldn't hear the lecture content clearly. I was so frustrated with this experience. Should I file a complaint over this? Any thoughts?

@xypathos @Averroes MD @aalena75 @affordhaunting @Hypnautical Thank you guys for your posts. I just want to give you an update on my complaint process. I have to say that the complaint process is very frustrating and exhausting. I reached out to the ARCDO office and Pamela Couture, the executive director of TST. But sadly ARCDO office and TST couldn't do anything at all because Regis has an independent governance structure and TST doesn't have an anti-racism policy. All they can do is to encourage me to follow the complaint process at Regis College. I filed complaint to Regis College in May following their grievance policy in May. It took Regis and its commettie about two months to publish a Human Right Policy in late July and I was told to re-submit my complaint to the newly appointed human right officer. Right now, my complaint is being handled in the guidance of this new policy. Meanwhile, Dr. Worcester retired with honour like nothing happened and is going to teach at a Jesuit University in the states starting this semester.

Is the professor he intended to send the email to also a racist? Based on this email, I think the faculty at Regis all knew what he is and remained silent. I will not accept his apology and I am determined to hold Regis College accountable.

I am an International student at TST. I sent an email to the president of a catholic theological college within TST yesterday. Then I received an email from him which has racist comment about me.I think he intended to send this email to another professor but accidentally sent to me.

I applied to their MTS program before the priority deadline but I haven't heard anything. I contacted them last week and they said the decision will be released in two weeks. I guess my decision will come out next week then? Maybe they put me on the waitlist?

PTS' admission office. I only applied to one school this semester. I really like PTS so I didn't apply for Yale and Duke. But right now I think I should have applied to those schools as well.

Friends, I still haven't heard back from the admission office. Does that mean I was put on the waitlist?

Congrats! The offer came to you so early. I applied before the priority deadline but I am still waiting.
