Faculty association solidarity is based on the principle that all of our members are equal and deserve mutual respect at all levels. Members of Lakehead University Faculty Association (LUFA) are committed to fostering an environment that is free from harassment and discrimination on the basis of disability, age, ancestry, colour, race, creed, class, citizenship, ethnicity, religion, family or marital status, gender identity, gender expression, sex, and sexual orientation. LUFA values the diversity that all members of the university community bring to the learning and research environment. LUFA encourages the exchange of ideas and expression of a variety of perspectives; however, respect for others, human dignity, and the freedom of others is essential when these views are expressed.
