Our Staff and Capacity Building

Focus on developing and supporting UTS staff who stand firmly together in upholding human rights and supporting the school’s commitment to anti-racism, equity, inclusion and diversity in all aspects of their work.

All UTS employee groups have engaged in learning about anti-racism, equity, diversity and inclusion, as well as practices to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace and school community. Learning topics included:

• Updated Anti-Racism and Equity Policy

• What is Anti-racism, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion?

• Culturally Reflective and Responsive Approaches

• Strategies and Approaches to Address Inequity and Discrimination at UTS

• Human Rights 101

To showcase and honour the work of racialized and Indigenous scholars, community members, and alumni, the Communications team has been highlighting public stories (blog, social media posts, annual reports) which celebrate some of the various identities that make up the UTS community through the hashtag #utsbelonging. Since initiating this process over the summer, 27 such stories have been shared. There is an opportunity to strenghten the messaging around these stories and intentionally solicit more stories to increase their volume.
