About the Campus Safety Grant Committee

The Campus Safety Grant Committee is a presidential standing committee established to address women's safety issues on campus, and in so doing, to establish, promote and improve facilities, programs and services at the University of Windsor.  The Grant has been funded by the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities since 1991. In August of 2016, the MTCU increased our allocation to $64,000 in order to further support efforts in addressing sexual violence and making campuses safer for women.
