A brief description of the diversity and equity committee, office and/or officer, including purview and activities:
In 2020, King's hired an expert consultant to provide guidance on addressing racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of oppression with the university community.
In 2020, King's also created an Equity, Diversity, Inclusion (EDI) task force.
The goal of the EDI Taskforce is to advance EDI principles by identifying systemic barriers to faculty, staff, and student inclusion, while proposing strategies to eliminate these barriers. With the collaboration with the EDI Consultant, the Taskforce will be involved in:
Developing a position statement on anti-racism and shared definitions of equity, diversity, inclusion at King's.
Conducting an assessment of faculty, staff and student perceptions of diversity and inclusion.
Conducting an equity audit and review of King's policies, practices and processes.
Proposing recommendations for sustainable action and a long-term strategy that will foster inclusivity and an anti-racist culture reflected in King's policy and practice.
