The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity is inviting the Humber community to help define the terms - Equity, Diversity & Inclusion for the College!
To start the process, eight (8) Knowledge Cafes were hosted in which the Humber community developed definitions for the three terms. Thanks to all persons who have already contributed to the development of the definitions. We are inviting everyone once again to review the definitions and recommend changes. Thank you for submitting your feedback to humanrights@humber.ca by November 14, 2018.
Equity
The principle of equity recognizes historically and currently under-represented and under-served individuals who experience unfair treatment in services, programs and employment. At Humber, equity means applying specific measures and practices to achieve equality of opportunities and outcomes for all.
Diversity
Diversity refers to the intersectionality of social and political identities that embody different worldviews, knowledges, and experiences. Humber embraces the diversity that exists in the identities of students and employees from local and global communities.
Inclusion
The principle of inclusion refers to the active and intentional engagement of people in all their intersecting social and political identities. At Humber, this engagement is grounded in respect, and all members of the college community are recognized as valued contributors. Inclusion enriches innovation, sustainability and excellence in curricular, research, programs and services.
