We are connected to each other and to this place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-top\">We know that throughout our national history, dominant cultures have simultaneously resisted and embraced diversity through patterns of evolving contradiction. Diversity has expanded alongside exclusion, discrimination, harassment and violence. But it has also been and continues to be a vital source of collective resilience, renewal and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-top\">We acknowledge and respect the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people within whose unceded, unsurrendered territory the 杏吧原创 campus is located. This acknowledgement is important to us and is a reminder of our pledge for (re)conciliation with Indigenous Peoples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"edi-is-critical-to-our-success\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">EDI is critical to our success.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It provides a powerful lens through which to chart our future. That has become ever clearer in the immediate environment of pandemic dislocation, transition to virtual operations, economic contraction, geopolitical instability, and social justice reckoning. We know the combined thrust of these dynamics has only exacerbated pre-existing societal disparities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But prioritizing EDI isn\u2019t just the right thing to do, it\u2019s fundamental to our vision for excellence, community and wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inclusive communities are generative and prolific, bringing together different perspectives, experiences and identities to disrupt convention in ways essential to consequential imagination and discovery. This may be observed within organizations across multiple sectors and is especially vital for learning, teaching, research and working in institutions of higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a diverse community, it\u2019s essential that we integrate equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) in the core activities and academic mission to ensure everyone can achieve their full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is more than paying lip service, it\u2019s about acting every day \u2013 building the appropriate structures and adopting the right processes, procedures and behaviours \u2013 to advance our EDI objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"this-plan-touches-every-part-of-the-university\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">This plan touches every part of the university<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To have a real impact, the action we take must be felt across the whole university. That\u2019s why these recommendations are comprehensive. They\u2019ve been developed with extensive consultation with our community, to ensure diverse voices are heard and acted upon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/equity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2025\/11\/P_杏吧原创Photography_Campus_Aerial_231025-1-1-1024x767.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial photo of 杏吧原创 campus\" class=\"wp-image-6065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/equity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2025\/11\/P_杏吧原创Photography_Campus_Aerial_231025-1-1-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/equity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2025\/11\/P_杏吧原创Photography_Campus_Aerial_231025-1-1-512x383.jpg 512w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/equity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2025\/11\/P_杏吧原创Photography_Campus_Aerial_231025-1-1-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/equity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2025\/11\/P_杏吧原创Photography_Campus_Aerial_231025-1-1-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/equity\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/152\/2025\/11\/P_杏吧原创Photography_Campus_Aerial_231025-1-1.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prioritizing EDI isn\u2019t just the right thing to do, it\u2019s fundamental to our vision for excellence, community and wellness.
