Ukrainian students are facing an increase in anti-Ukrainian hate symbols and harassment on Canadian university campuses, student clubs say.
The club also objected to the hanging of a Russian flag in a dormitory window and detailed one account in which a Carleton student who was wearing a Ukrainian scrunchie on a campus elevator was allegedly told "all Ukrainians should kill themselves."
Carleton did not, however, confirm the number of unique reports of anti-Ukrainian graffiti it has received from students. "As a result of the inaction of the UVSS [University of Victoria Student Society] and the university, anti-Ukrainian sentiment has been allowed to fester on campus," the club wrote.into the matter last Friday.The Russian flag flies at the country's embassy in Ottawa behind a street sign calling for a free Ukraine, installed on posts adjacent to the road as a gesture of solidarity by the City of Ottawa.
Zakydalsky added that although the UCC plans to contact universities about anti-Ukrainian harassment, the issue is not restricted to campuses.
