The Office of the Associate Vice-President (Indigenous Teaching, Learning and Research) and the Centre for Indigenous Support and Community Engagement invite you to attend one of four Understanding and Honouring Indigenous Forms of Identity and Belonging Town Halls. These sessions will provide historical context on issues related to Indigenous identity and outline how the University’s new policies aim to address these challenges.
Carleton University has adopted two policies to verify Indigenous identity for employment competitions, academic programs and awards, grants, bursaries and scholarships that are limited to Indigenous candidates.
- The Hiring Policy for Positions Limited to Indigenous (First Nation, Inuit and Métis) Candidates aims to protect positions intended to bring the richness of Indigenous lived experience and knowledge into Carleton’s classrooms.
- The Admissions and Awards Limited to Indigenous (First Nation, Métis and Inuit) Candidates Policy outlines a process to verify the Indigenous identity of applicants who apply to Indigenous-specific program seats or awards, grants, bursaries, and scholarships in order to ensure there is a clearly defined way to address potential Indigenous identity fraud.
