Carleton’s Commitment to EDI
Carleton has articulated its commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in the comprehensive EDI Action Plan that outlines ways to reimagine curricular and pedagogical practices and commits to further enhancing student supports, research infrastructure, leadership development for academic and non-academic staff, organizational culture and more.
Carleton’s commitment to EDI is also demonstrated through the institution-wide calls to action outlined in Kinàmàgawin, our revitalized Indigenous strategy. Carleton has also endorsed the Dimensions Charter and signed the Scarborough Charter on Anti-Black Racism and Black Inclusion and the UN International Decade for People of African Descent.
