Humber’s Human Rights Policy & Employees’ Responsibilities

May 6, 2015

Humber College is committed to providing a learning, working and living environment that is free from discrimination and harassment. Key to maintaining this commitment is Humber employees’ awareness and observation of their responsibilities as outlined in section four (4), page four (4) of Humber’s Human Rights Policy. Humber employees’ are required to:

  1. Foster a climate of understanding and mutual respect for the dignity and rights of each individual;
  2. Familiarize themselves with Humber’s policies, procedures and practices and exhibit the appropriate behavior for dealing with human rights;
  3. Prevent, report and discourage discrimination and harassment by others; and
  4. Participate in ongoing professional development education and training that may enhance their ability to act in an anti-discriminatory manner. 


The College has the right, as well as the legal and moral responsibility, to ensure that all its members are treated fairly, equitably, and respectfully.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity | HR Services is available to all employees to provide support and advice in the area of human rights.
