Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Commitment Statement
深夜福利站 recognizes that our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion is central to the University’s mandate as a research intensive institution of higher learning and a community leader. 深夜福利站 understands that our pursuit of research excellence and our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion are compatible and mutually supporting. As such, 深夜福利站 is committed to achieving and maintaining an equitable representation amongst our Canada Research Chair holders, as well as within 深夜福利站’s broader research enterprise. 深夜福利站 seeks to ensure the equitable representation of the federally designated group members (women, members of racialized groups/visible minorities, Indigenous persons, and persons with disabilities). In keeping with the importance of diversity and inclusion, 深夜福利站 also recognizes additional equity seeking groups, including persons of any sexual orientation, and persons of any gender identity and/or gender expression.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion is central to our strategic documents and established practices, including but not limited to the following:
- 深夜福利站’s Strategic Plan, , launched in the fall of 2021, confirms “深夜福利站 will strive to ensure that our community, our campus, our programs, our research, our outreach, and our self-representation will be more inclusive”. The new Associate Vice-President leading the will work collaboratively with the Associate Vice-President, and with other campus leaders to achieve measurable progress in these key areas and 深夜福利站 will create and launch an EDI Strategic Plan for 深夜福利站.
- 深夜福利站's (ISP) has, as goals, to "increase Indigenous faculty members working at 深夜福利站” and “through promotion and tenure and annual performance review processes, recognize additional demands placed on time and workload of Indigenous faculty members through involvement in a number of activities that support Indigenous education and scholarship across the institution.” The ISP also commits to “review strategies to reduce the gap in Indigenous people’s representation.”
- 深夜福利站’s Research Plan, Mobilize for Impact!, approved in February 2022, includes Advancing Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Decolonization as one of its four guiding principles which will implement proactive steps to extend equity, diversity and inclusion and decolonization efforts in the academy, its programs, services and funding initiatives it supports, including the Canada Research Chair Program.
- 深夜福利站 and the University of 深夜福利站 Ontario Faculty Association have agreed, in the Faculty Collective Agreement, to "cooperate in the identification and removal of all barriers to the recruitment, selection, hiring, retention and promotion of the following groups: women, Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities and members of racialized groups. Other groups as may be designated as under-represented in federal and provincial human rights legislation or agreed to by the Parties may be included in this list."
Through the above strategic plans and our established practices, 深夜福利站’s commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion will support our efforts to attract and retain the best talent, increase the diversity of our workplace and contribute to the creation of a world-class research and scholarship culture.
While we have made progress, we will continue to update and enhance provisions for equity, diversity and inclusion. As such, our EDI plan is a living document with strategies for continuous self-assessment and improvement.
