Accountability & reporting
Reporting
Reporting on progress is a crucial part of the Equity Action Plan (EAP), as laid out by goal 5:
During the development of the EAP we heard that there is a lack of trust when it comes to the evaluation of equity related initiatives, especially from systemically and historically marginalized populations. There is a desire for reporting to be meaningful and go beyond performativity.
Therefore, Action 10 under goal 5 states: Design an ongoing reporting mechanism for the campus community that involves sharing progress on the EAP, consulting on reprioritization and emerging issues, and communicating actions from across the university.
The goals of this reporting plan are to increase transparency and build trust while holding UVic leaders accountable to the commitments of the plan.
Continued engagement
Institution-wide interim reporting for the EAP focuses on sharing a high-level summary of the advancement of the EAP’s five goals.
Snapshot 2025 is accompanied by another round of community engagement aimed at understanding how the barriers faced by UVic community members have changed over the last three years.
Accountabilities
For each action listed in the plan, one of more senior leader is listed as “leads.” These members of the University Executive are accountable for ensuring progress on the committed actions. Units and faculties within their portfolios have been tasked with developing activities to advance these actions. Other leaders and portfolios may have related responsibilities.
Ongoing progress
Starting in November 2022, the UVic Community Actions Feed serves as an ongoing way for members of the University community to share initiatives that advance the goals of the Equity Action Plan. Check out the action updates and consider adding your own.Questions?
