Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Commitments
At the School of Continuing Studies (SCS), we are committed to ensuring an equitable, respectful, accessible, and inclusive environment for all of our staff, instructors, lifelong learners, and community partners/collaborators.
Our EDI work is focused on being a catalyst for positive change through programming, strategic and institutional initiatives, educational/learning opportunities, communication and accountability, issues resolution and restoration, and accessibility and universal design.
We work closely with key partners across the tri-campus, including the Institutional Equity Office (IEO) and the Office of Indigenous Initiatives (OII).
Land Acknowledgement
We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and learn on this land.
SCS Accessibility Plan
Throughout 2024, the Accessibly Subgroup of the SCS Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion committee refreshed our Accessibility Plan. We invite you to learn more about how we have renewed our longstanding commitment to provide a positive learning experience to our learners with diverse learning needs.
