Carleton University is committed to equality of employment for all individuals.
In July 1987, the University signed a letter of commitment to the Federal Contractors Employment Equity Program to take measures to prevent or eliminate disadvantages in employment for four designated groups (women, Aboriginal peoples, visible minorities and persons with disabilities).
As part of the conditions of this program, the University is required to conduct and keep up to date a census of all employees in full-time and regular part-time positions to determine the number of women, members of visible minorities, persons with disabilities, and persons of Aboriginal ancestry working at Carleton. The University is required to collect this information in order to remain eligible for federal research contracts.
The University began by conducting a census in November of 1996 has updated it regularly. As part of this process individuals who have filled out their census have the opportunity to provide updates to it. As part of this process, we are sending an update form to all employees who have been at Carleton for more than 2 years to give them an opportunity to update their equity census information if they so desire.
Equity Services and the Office of Institutional Research and Planning are together responsible for collecting census information and producing the necessary statistical reports. The information you provide will be provided in aggregate and confidential and personal details will not be released. Please read the Code of Confidentiality which outlines the safeguards that have been developed to protect the information you provide.
The census form, which takes only a few minutes to complete, may be filled out during working hours. Further information on the census is contained in the frequently asked questions.
Carleton’s Employee Equity Census Task Force, which included representatives of unionized and non-unionized employee groups on campus, developed and endorsed the census package. If you have any questions about the census or require assistance in filling out the questionnaire please contact Equity Services at 613-520-5622 or by email at equity@carleton.ca. For any technical problems filling out the online survey, please reply to this email for assistance.
It is very important to the University to be able to complete this report. If you would like to update your information, please take the few moments that it takes to complete the survey.
