What we do

Equity and Human Rights is a resource for all UVic community members, providing education, information, assistance and advice in aid of building and supporting an inclusive campus. We believe that our campus should represent the diversity of our larger communities and that every person--student staff and faculty--should be treated equitably. To this end we work closely across all units to build equity and diversity through education, prevention and structural initiatives. Finally, when issues and concerns arise, we are here to assist community members and help guide them through the range of available resolution options.
