Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Professionalism

The Equity Office within UTDRO was established in 2008. The scope of the office was expanded in 2012 to include professionalism and social responsibility. In 2020, the office has evolved to also include inclusion as part of its mandate.

The primary goal of the office is to ensure that UTDRO faculty, staff and trainees have access to support in order to address and fulfill University of Toronto’s position on Equity Professionalism and Social Responsibility.
