The Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning (Humber College) has identified as its Strategic Priority #7 under Pillar #3, Healthy and Inclusive Community, to continue to build a diverse and inclusive community of exceptional students, faculty and staff. The specific supporting action is to establish and implement an institutional framework and strategy for equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) that addresses the needs of both students and employees.
An EDI Taskforce comprising of students, faculty, support and administration staff, alumni, community and industry partners was created to lead this initiative. This Institutional EDI Framework and Strategy will address the following four (4) program areas:
- Access & Equity: Students and Employees
- Curriculum and Programs
- Campus Culture
- College-wide Communication and Engagement Strategy
The EDI Taskforce shared high-level draft objectives for all program areas with members of the College in June/July 2020. Many of you asked for detailed work plans, which were provided upon request. Thank you all for your rich and thoughtful feedback. All program areas have integrated the feedback received, where possible.
Next week, we will be reposting the revised draft objectives and requesting additional feedback. Detailed work plans of the various program areas will be made available upon request.
We look forward to your input and we appreciate your ongoing support of the development of Humber’s Institutional EDI Framework and Strategy.
