The University of Guelph is committed to maintaining the human dignity of individuals and groups of individuals through its Human Rights Policy [1] (Policy), which supplements the Ontario Human Rights Code [2] (Code). The Office of Diversity and Human Rights [3] (DHR) helps coordinate, evaluate, and report on the University's institutional equity and inclusion activities; and promotes the fundamental rights and responsibilities guaranteed by the Code. DHR provides advice under the Policy and its Procedures, and manages its complaint processes in a consistent, timely, impartial and fair manner.
DHR develops, manages and supports campus-wide educational and outreach initiatives under the University's Inclusion Framework [4]. In addition, DHR provides resources to systemically address barriers in order to achieve accessibility as required by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act [5] (AODA).
If you think your rights under the Code or any of the University's policies have been violated, or if you just have a question, you are welcome to contact DHR at dhrinfo@uoguelph.ca [6] for assistance or direction.
