Has the institution engaged in a structured assessment process during the previous three years to improve diversity, equity and inclusion on campus?:
Yes

A brief description of the assessment process and the framework, scorecard(s) and/or tool(s) used:

In accordance with the Government of Quebec's Pay Equity Act, the Université de Montréal launches a periodic evaluation process to ensure that pay equity is maintained.

This evaluation is carried out in partnership with each of the unions every five years to identify whether events that have occurred in the institution since the previous year have created wage gaps between the equivalent female- and male-dominated job classes and, if so, to determine the adjustments required.

The display of results is reserved internally but is made accessible to employees. Corrective measures were proposed for each problematic sector.
The Direction des Ressources Humaines (DRH; Office of Human Resources) was in charge of that assessment :
a) Assess all new job categories and those who had their responsibilities and tasks modified;
b) Validate the gender predominance of every job category as of December 31st, 2018;
c) Evaluate the job categories;
d) Estimate the disparity in wages and determine adjustments if needed.

University students were invited to participate in the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). This survey allows the assessment of diversity on campus and the interactions within a multicultural context:

NSSE participation:
2011, 2014 and 2017

Also, Marie Mc Andrew, Special Advisor on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, began work in 2019 to produce an EDI action plan at the Université de Montréal. Its mandate is to address diversity as a whole and to touch on the five missions of the Université de Montréal: a place of learning, a living environment, a place of knowledge production, a workplace and a committed citizen institution in its community.
