In the past, these included the Carleton University Indigenous Strategic Initiatives Committee (CUISIC), and the Sexual Violence Policy review process. More recently, this leadership work has extended to the Sexual Violence Prevention and Education Committee (SVPEC), The Strategic Integrated Plan (SIP) Task Force and the consultations supporting the EIC Advisory Group Recommendations for EDI Institutional Strategic Action.

The Department of Equity and Inclusive Communities (EIC) contributes and or leads a number of pan-university decision-making and advisory bodies. We have listed just a few in our Governance and Committees section. In addition, we provide ad hoc advice to any individual member of Carleton university on matters coming within our mandate.
