Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI)

Our Commitment

Fleming College is deeply committed to creating an equitable, diverse, inclusive college where everyone belongs.

Our Mandate

As a college, we acknowledge the patterns of historical exclusion and the legacies it has produced. Our mandate is to challenge societal inequality by addressing systemic discrimination within our institution by examining and redesigning the infrastructure, policies, and practices that have left many behind. Through research, behaviour change, modifications of social standards, systemic disruption, policy change, education and training to achieve a cultural climate of inclusion and belonging.

ā€œFleming College is committed to being a welcoming place for all, where the needs of our diverse populations are met, and varying perspectives enrich our communities. It is our shared responsibility to understand the experiences of our employees and students in culturally safe and inclusive ways. Together, guided by our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Council, Fleming will continue to follow our strategic direction and meet our commitment to eliminate barriers and build an inclusive sense of belongingā€.

– Maureen Adamson, Former President

Our Path

To achieve our mandate and fulfill our commitment, we are redeveloping our vision of the community we need and want for students, employees, faculty and staff.
