Niagara, Selkirk publish EDI plans

Two colleges have recently announced Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion plans. Niagara College and its Student Administrative Council have launched an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Blueprint. The blueprint identifies the college’s current situation and ongoing work, and outlines the college’s vision, goals, and opportunities for improvement in the future. Selkirk College announced its Equity, Diversity & Inclusion Action Plan, a brief document that includes best practice definitions, outlines the broad focus areas, and goals for the plan. Selkirk EDI Advisory Committee chair Marissa Carrasco explained that the success of the plan will come down to individuals having brave conversations and cultivating a culture of considered openness. Both colleges described their plans as living documents that commit the institutions to continuous improvement.
