We would also like to remind our community that graffiti contributes to a hostile environment and is unacceptable泭 at AV整氈窒. Graffiti makes people feel unsafe and unwelcome in their learning and working environments. It is is a form of vandalism, which is a criminal offence when placed on public or private property, and when it includes discriminatory messages or images it constitutes a violation of the Human Rights Code, our Student Code of Conduct and our fundamental values as members of the AV整氈窒 community.
泭
If you see graffiti anywhere on campus, please report it to Dal Security immediately by calling 902-494-6400 or emailing security@dal.ca , or using the DalSAFE e-reporting feature to send a picture and location of the graffiti.
