The University is committed to meeting its employment and educational equity goals with respect to the four federally designated groups:
- Women
- Racialized People/Visible Minorities
- Indigenous/Aboriginal*
- Peoples with disabilities
In addition, the University has included members of sexual/gender minorities as a designated group.
*Unless the context requires the use of the term Aboriginal peoples as it appears in the Employment Equity Act or as part of a proper name, the Labour Program uses the term Indigenous people.
