Education 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, creed, colour, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family
status, ancestry, ethnic origin, place of origin, or disability, as defined
in the Ontario Human Rights Code.
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.
