Activity examples

Leaders reported various ways they supported institutional accountability during this reporting period survey. As we move forward into the next reporting period, finding new ways to engage the campus community should be a priority of the executive leadership and of the EAP team. Below are three examples of activities advancing this goal.

Achieved actions

Action	Completion notes
Action 3: Review and revise dispute resolution policies and procedures, including disciplinary measures and protections against retaliation. Revisions should improve responsiveness to redress racism and oppression and promote inclusion and belonging.	The Sexualized Violence Prevention and Response Policy (2025) and the Discrimination and Harassment Prevention and Response Policy (2024) have been reviewed and updated. Significant changes include more clarity regarding retaliation as well as the addition of systemic discrimination and microaggressions as prohibited conduct.
Action 6: Carry out the Better Data Project to establish clear guidelines and governance concerning the collection of self-identification data to evaluate and inform the actions associated with the EAP.	The Better Data Project questionnaire was launched in 2024 and public dashboards are now available to view collected demographic data.
Action 8: Conduct an equity review of UVic graduate student experiences.	An equity review was completed over the 2024-2025 academic year by the Faculty of Graduate Studies.
Action 9: Respond to the Vice President Finance and Operations portfolio assessments to identify and address gaps in understanding, and the capacity of leadership and management to implement EAP initiatives.	Over 45 leaders across the VPFO portfolio participated in sessions over 2 years to develop their understanding and skills to engage in equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging work.
Action 10: 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.	Snapshot 2025 is the first institutional report to share progress on the EAP. It has been launched alongside a new round of community engagement to update the EAP.
