Educational Equity Policy

Preamble

In support of Carleton University's commitment to Section 15 of the Federal Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Sections 4 and 13 of the Ontario Human Rights Code, and the University's mission statement,

Statement of Principles

Carleton University is committed to providing equity in its educational programs and services and a welcoming environment for all individuals regardless of race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, national origin, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, family status, or disability as defined in the Human Rights Code of Ontario.

Carleton University strives for the best possible educational experience for all of its students. The University attempts, to the best of its ability, to encourage and assist all students to succeed academically and as members of the University community.

Educational Equity Policy Statement

In support of its commitment to excellence in teaching, scholarship, and research, Carleton University seeks to identify University policies, programs, and services that need to be changed, enhanced, or created, subject to the availability of resources, in order to:

(a) increase the access, retention, and graduation of groups of students who have traditionally been under-represented, under-served, and/or disadvantaged in University programs, and

(b) provide a supportive and welcoming learning environment for all students.

The designated groups for education equity include, but are not limited to: women; Aboriginal peoples; persons with disabilities; racial, ethnic, or visible minorities; the economically disadvantaged; mature and part-time students; gay men, lesbians, and bisexuals; and international students.

The University undertakes to provide reasonable accommodation to these groups and, to the extent that it is possible, to implement special measures to support the achievement of the University's education equity goals.

In support of its commitment to achieve and maintain a hospitable campus climate for all students, faculty, and staff, the University undertakes to provide education and training on human rights issues as these relate, inter alia, to curriculum and pedagogy.
