Offensive Material
Paintings in university tunnels must not contain any offensive language, symbols, or imagery that could
be considered harmful, derogatory, or discriminatory. This includes, but is not limited to, hate speech,
explicit or graphic content, slurs, or symbols that promote violence, intolerance, or discrimination based
on race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other personal characteristic. All artwork
should reflect respect and inclusivity for the university community. Observe the principles of all
Carleton’s policies and procedures.
Political Content
To maintain a neutral and welcoming environment for all members of the university, political content in
tunnel artwork is subject to restrictions. Art that promotes partisan political messages, political
campaigns, or advocacy for specific political parties or candidates is prohibited. The university
encourages creative expression that fosters healthy debate and discussion, but political statements or
symbols must not dominate or create division within public spaces.
Respect for Diversity
All artwork should respect the diverse backgrounds, cultures, beliefs, and identities of the university
community. The design must not marginalize, stereotype, or misrepresent any group. Artists are
encouraged to celebrate diversity and inclusion, ensuring their work promotes unity, mutual respect, and
understanding across all students, staff, and faculty.
Trademark and Copyright Issues
Artwork must not include any copyrighted logos, brand names, trademarks, or images without proper
authorization. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of company logos, copyrighted symbols, or the
intellectual property of other individuals or entities. Images may not be used for commercial gain or
purpose. The university will not permit artwork that infringes on trademarks or copyright laws. All
artwork should be original or appropriately licensed.

The goal of the sustainability committee is to connect with residence students to create a more environmentally conscious community. The committee members facilitate programs based on their ideas throughout the year. To learn more, reach out to Evgenia Mamina.

The student engagement committee is an opportunity for students to get involved in planning events for residence students! This committee aims to foster community engagement and consider personal development through a lens of equity, diversity, and inclusion. To learn more, reach out to Evgenia Mamina.

The EDI Student Committee brings together residence students who are passionate about creating a more inclusive and welcoming community. Committee members collaborate to plan events, share ideas, and lead initiatives that celebrate diversity, promote belonging, and strengthen equity and inclusion within residence. Whether you're interested in advocacy, education, community building, or creating meaningful programming, the EDI Student Committee is a great way to make an impact while connecting with like-minded peers. You can also explore our EDI Community Connect Groups to connect with others who share your identities, interests, and lived experiences. To learn more or get involved, reach out to Shaye Belanger.

These areas are for students who wish to live in a quieter environment during the school year.

“Quieter” means there should be no audible sounds outside of rooms, floor hallways, common areas and lounges. Extra consideration related to noise is expected during the December and April examination periods.

These standards apply to all residents and guests visiting these floors. Staff in this community will work with all members of the community to define these additional expectations at the start of the academic year.

In case of violations, residents should try to have a discussion amongst each other, or report to staff if unable to self-resolve.

This is an option for students who commit to maintaining a living environment free from substances, which include alcohol, tobacco, smokeless tobacco, cannabis, drugs, drug paraphernalia or illegally obtained prescription medications.

Residents of legal age of majority (19 in Ontario) are not allowed to possess and use these products within these designated areas and are expected to not return to these floors while under influence of substances.

To respect the rights of residents in this community, these expectations also apply to guests visiting these areas.

Every year there is a least one single-gender floor in residence. These floors are based on demand.
