<p>As stated in report:  We Rise Together: The Peel District School Board Action Plan to Support Black Male Students is a comprehensive response to that challenge. The plan is both defined and open—there are clear, detailed first steps, and also a commitment to continue to consult with the community on these steps. The goal is to balance the need to act on the findings without delay, while we honour and respect the powerful knowledge and insight in our community to refine that work. The bottom line is that this action plan will not succeed without the genuine involvement of the community. We can only rise together.</p>

This presentation centered on how the Research Ethics Office and team provide assistance to faculty, staff and students conducting research with humans, animals and biological agents. Rather than thinking of her team and function as that of the "ethics police," the Office of Research Ethics ensure that York's Research Community remain compliant to approved research processes and adhere to changing regulations and ethics review processes. The function of Mrakas and her team is to provide the pathway for research projects to move forward with the assurance of regulatory and ethical compliance. Rather than write research protocols, the Office of Research Ethics reviews and approves all research projects done under the purview of York University, which remain compliant with tri-council policy statements.
