What is EDI?

What do we mean when we speak about equity, diversity, and inclusion? The UBC Equity & Inclusion Office has some foundational definitions to help us get grounded.

VPFO EDI Governance

The VPFO has formed an equity, diversity and inclusion committee to identify the best opportunities to continue to build the type of workplace we want.

EDI Resources

UBC is working on EDI initiatives across the campus. Some resources are specific the VPFO, some are broad initiatives setting the direction for the entire university, and some are highly targeted work on a specific topic.

EDI Updates

Check back regularly for updates on our EDI progress and to learn how we’re performing as a portfolio. We will also be posting feature stories to illustrate how EDI at UBC comes to life though our day-to-day work.
