ALLEGATIONS AND FINDINGS SUMMARY:
ALEX JOHNSTONE
> The report found Johnstone, in her role as chair, took actions that silenced former student trustee Ahona Mehdi on significant issues facing the board (bullying, police liaison program).
> It found Johnstone, as chair, should have been more reactive in a meeting when statements were made that trustees “ought to have known” were antiBlack racism.
> It found Johnstone likely suggested to Mehdi that she be less aggressive in bringing forward issues to the board.
> It found Johnstone likely inadvertently shamed Mehdi, who is Muslim, when she asked her why she wasn’t wearing a Christmas sweater.
CAROLE PAIKIN MILLER
> The report found Paikin Miller made statements at a meeting about the police liaison program that she “ought to have known” were anti-Black racism.
> It found Paikin Miller failed to understand the concept of equity and showed “blatant disregard” for the board’s efforts to address issues of equity.
> It found Paikin Miller, on the balance of probabilities, has made anti-Muslim remarks while speaking to other trustees about the Middle East.
BECKY BUCK
> The report found Buck made statements at a meeting about the police liaison program that she knew or “ought to have known” were anti-Black racism.
> It found Buck was opposed to creating an Indigenous student trustee position without creating positions for all equity-seeking groups. One witness described this as “conflating equity with equality.”
KATHY ARCHER
> The report found Archer made statements at a meeting about the police liaison program that she knew or “ought to have known” were anti-Black racism.
