A brief description of the diversity and equity committee, office and/or officer, including purview and activities:
The Office of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion works with students, faculty, and staff to implement Mount Royal University’s commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion (EDI) and anti-racism through comprehensive EDI strategies, processes and evidence-based policies, practices and programs.
The President’s Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Advisory Committee was set up in fall 2020, with 15 members made up of students, faculty and staff from across campus to bring a breadth of lived experiences and expertise.
As a committee made up of Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) individuals, allies and those with knowledge and experience in anti-racism education and equity, diversity (EDI) and inclusion our mandate is:
to affirm MRU’s commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
to disrupt racism to advocate for systemic change (at MRU and in our community)
The committee will provide ongoing recommendations to the president and vice-chancellor within the University’s evolving EDI framework of activities, policies and procedures so that tactical goals and actions can be developed, enacted, communicated and monitored.

Mount Royal is dedicated to developing relationships with Indigenous neighbours. We host many cultural awareness events and cultural information is shared at critical times such as Orientation, staff orientation and PD Days. Many staff are required to participate in cultural teachings, but it is dependent on the department.
Through the General Education programs, all students participate in cultural competence trainings and activities as they are required to complete classes in within Cluster 2: Values, Beliefs and Ideas, and Cluster 3: Community and Society.
