In 2020, the University of Waterloo launched the President's Anti-racism Taskforce (PART) with a mission to address systemic racism on campus. The Taskforce, made up of Black, Indigenous, and other racialized faculty, staff, and students, proposed 88 recommendations for the University to implement to foster an equitable culture. These recommendations have since evolved into 125 active projects driving meaningful change across the University.
President and vice-chancellor Vivek Goel emphasizes that anti-racism is a shared responsibility of the entire community, not just a specific leader or campus unit. He urges everyone in the University community to take action to ensure the successful implementation of the PART recommendations.

Elder Henry invites President Goel to pledge their re-commitment to reconciliation, indigenization and decolonization at the University
