Equity & Diversity Committee

The Equity & Diversity Committee

Through inquiry, education, respectful dialogue and outreach on issues related to the wide variety of student backgrounds, concerns and lived experiences, the Committee strives to promote its vision among Allard Law students, faculty and administrators. This vision is to create a progressive and holistic learning environment that respects, values, and includes the diverse perspectives that are present in Canadian society. To that end, it devotes considerable focus on the representation of women, LGBTQ+ students, Indigenous people, those who live with a disability and visible minorities within the law school, while remaining live to the voices of other individuals and groups with equity and diversity concerns. The Committee is currently working on improving its mandate and constitution to provide greater clarity regarding its powers, role, and ability to advocate for all voices at Allard Law.
