OTTAWA, August 2, 2022 - Post-secondary education is crucial to long-term career success, regardless of which industry or career a person wishes to pursue. That is why the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations (CASA) strives to ensure every student can access affordable post-secondary education. CASA is pleased with today’s Government announcement of increased eligibility under the Canada Student Financial Assistance Program (CSFA Program) for students with disabilities.

Decades of tireless activism by student survivors, leaders, advocates, and their allies, havebrought the issue of sexual violence at post-secondary institutions (PSIs) to the fore. This year alone, we witnessed large student walkouts at PSIs (and high schools) across the country, with students demanding safer campuses, tailored action plans, comprehensive standalone sexual violence policies, and institutional accountability, to name a few concerns. It is clear that an effective response requires service beyond an individual basis. Rather, a comprehensive, holistic approach that addresses policy, procedures, prevention and data collection and includes meaningful collaboration between all levels of government, PSIs, survivor advocates, grassroots movements, and community organizations is instrumental to addressing sexual violence on ourcampuses (Khan, Rowe and Bidgood, 2019).
