Dean Wells' statement on Iran

Tuesday, October 4, 2022

On behalf of the University of Waterloo’s Faculty of Engineering, I wish to express my sincere concern about the violence unfolding in Iran in response to the shocking death of Mahsa Amini.

In moments like these, it is critical to reaffirm Waterloo Engineering’s unwavering commitment to upholding human rights. We add our voice alongside those in the growing global community who condemn the repression of women and the reprehensible inequalities women continue to face around the world.

To our Iranian faculty, staff, post-docs and graduate students - please know that we support you and all Iranians who are struggling amidst the ongoing brutality and escalating violence.

Sincerely,

Dean Mary Wells
