The document discusses a complaint filed with the Ontario Ombudsman regarding systemic barriers in the education system. The Ombudsman investigates discrimination and issues affecting groups. The complaint originated from prolonged barriers at the root of problems in education. Unless government policies effectively address post-secondary programs and student assistance, issues at institutions like York University will continue. The Canadian Federation of Students and ProBono Law Student Canada notified the complainant that the Ombudsman's expanded investigation will occur over the next few weeks. Recent graduates and current students are asked to contribute any relevant information.

LEFT BEHIND: HOW STATELESSNESS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC LIMIT'S CHILDREN'S A...Stanleylucas
On the first day of school, children often worry whether they’ll make new friends or like their teachers. But in the Dominican Republic, some confront a far graver concern: Will I be turned away because I don’t have a birth certificate? This report published by the Human Rights Institute at Georgetown University Law Center shows that many children born in the Dominican Republic but descended from foreigners, particularly Haitians, are denied an education. For generations, such children were recognized as citizens, but within the last decade, the Dominican government has refused to issue many of them birth certificates, identity cards and other essential documentation, rendering them stateless. The report, Left Behind: How Statelessness in the Dominican Republic Limits Children’s Access to Education, concludes that the Dominican Republic is failing to comply with its domestic and international human rights obligations, including the human right to education. “We wanted to look at the human impact that statelessness has on children through the lens of education as an important enabling right,” said Georgetown Law student Jamie Armstrong, LLM’14, one of the report’s editors. “Education is critical to the development of a child and it is a gateway to full civil, political, economic, social, and cultural participation in society. What we found, however, is that this path is often barred with devastating consequences for children who are stateless or at risk of statelessness.” The report is the product of months of research, including interviews with dozens of affected children and families, as well as educators, advocates and government officials. Several of the Dominicans of Haitian descent interviewed were prevented from attending primary school, secondary school or university because they could not obtain identity documents. Of those allowed to attend school despite not having birth certificates, many were denied the ability to take national exams required to graduate.
All of this occurs in spite of laws, policies, constitutional provisions and international human rights commitments that are meant to guarantee children’s right to education. The report found that administrative barriers, discrimination and confusion about the law has meant that in practice not all children in the Dominican Republic are allowed to go to school, even if they consider themselves Dominicans.
“We just want a miracle from God to get our documents, to have the opportunity to go to school,” said one 14-year-old girl interviewed for the report.

The Legal Year in Review: Digital Access Cases3Play Media
While every year is active in the federal and state courts, 2015 saw several cases focused on the accessibility of online content. These cases demonstrate that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Office for Civil Rights (OCR) are taking a more comprehensive position on digital access, and organizations across industries should take note of the precedents being set to better understand their legal obligations.
In this webinar, Paul Grossman, who served as the OCR Chief Regional Attorney in San Francisco for 30 years, will analyze key illustrative cases and decisions in 2015 that have potential impact on campus and organization policies, practices, and environments as they relate to web accessibility.
This presentation will cover:
- Legal requirements impacting web accessibility
- What is a "public accommodation" subject to Title III of the ADA?
- Captioning lawsuit against Harvard and MIT
- Cases of "deliberate indifference"
- Key DOJ/OCR compliance reviews in 2015
- Accommodating employees
- The legal horizon for web accessibility
If the Canadian federal elections were to be summed up in a sentence it could be said that leader Justin Trudeau has won enough votes in order to constitute a minority government thus proving that people trust the liberals with their life and times in Canada. The question is what is it that can be expected from liberals in order to ascertain if they are supportive of immigration.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

1. CANADIAN FEDERATION OF STUDENTS
BACKGROUNDER
SPECIAL REPORT TO THE ONTARIO OMBUDSMAN
BACKGROUNDER CONTINUED ...
The Ontario Ombudsman common with the Integrity Commissioner and Information & Privacy Commissioner act on behalf of groups of individuals whom feel that
they have been discriminated due to prolonged and sustained systemic barriers. Recently, former Minister of Education, Gerard Kennedy, was served by public
notice about systemic barriers in the education system. Since he stepped down from office in June 2005, and wrote back to her at that time, she has received a
non-response since that time. In the last few days, commissionaires in the Ontario government were served with notice of our complaint to the Ontario
Government regarding an outstanding administrative application for Judicial Review before Divisional Court for Ontario.
In the suitable resolution that she proposed this week, included noting York officials in default until her service of materials now before the Ontario Court system is
accounted for. The complaints received by the Ontario Ombudsman, Integrity Commissioner, and Information & Privacy Commissioner reveal that the origins of
the prolonged and sustained barriers are at the root of evil in our education system. Unless and until there is consensus about effective government policies and
program development then post secondary institutions like York University will continue to approve not necessarily the Ontario Student Assistance Program but
also scholarships and bursaries offered through the Government of Canada that pertain to students with special needs.
The Canadian Federation of Students and member societies such as ProBono Law Student Canada served her with legal notice of the expanded investigation this
means. To reiterate; in the words of this former student leader, we do not consent any other 'watchdog' and that includes the PGT unless and until we hear from
York University. The Ombudsman investigation would be scheduled to take place over the next few weeks. Individuals who are considered enrolled recent
graduates are asked to contribute any information that they think might be relevant to the Ombudsman office.
