Equity documents

In 1987 SFU signed a Certificate of Commitment to the Federal Contractors’ Program as a condition of securing contracts of $200,000 or more with the Federal Government. To meet this commitment, an Employment Equity Policy was approved by the Board of Governors in 1989, and has been updated since.

One of the main objectives of the Employment Equity Policy is to have continuing employees’ participation in the SFU workforce reflect the representation and distribution of designated groups in the external workforce, based on Stats Canada census data and the National Occupational Classification system categorizations. Another primary objective is to provide a fair and equitable workplace and to offer all individuals an equal opportunity to develop their potential by removing barriers to employment and advancement when and where they exist.
