Equity, Diversity & Inclusion
What does the Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Office do at UTSC?
The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Office (EDIO) is a central resource for all UTSC community members (students, staff, and faculty) to provide training, programming, and engagement initiatives related to equity, access, discrimination, and harassment.
With a focus on intentional inclusion, the EDIO promotes equitable and inclusive campus communities, free from discrimination or harassment based on:
| Age | Creed |
| Disability | Sex |
| Race | Gender Expression |
| Ancestry | Gender Identity |
| Place of Origin | Sexual Orientation |
| Colour | Family Status |
| Ethnic Origin | Marital Status |
| Citizenship | Record of Offences |
We build trusting and enduring relationships with our community members to support initiatives that address and remove barriers to access, opportunities, and outcomes, and develop educational resources which inspire continued learning and growth in the areas of equity, diversity and inclusion.
