On November 26, 1992, UCC President Jim Wright established a Task Force on Women's Safety. As stipulated, the mandate of the committee has been to:
a) examine and assess existing facilities and procedures in relation to the physical safety of women faculty, students and staff at UCC;
b) review any existing women's safety programs in place on other university and college campuses in Canada; and
c) make any recommendations regarding steps that can be taken at UCC to enhance the physical safety of women on our campus.
