2024 Update

  • Formed departmental advisory committee on EDI and anti-racism in 2023, with committee work ongoing.
  • Developed and launched a student EDI survey to get a clearer picture of demographical data specific to POL students, and data on their satisfaction with the program. Plan to analyse data by September 2024, and then to repeat the survey every 2-3 years for comparison. Also plan to compare it to U of T Student Equity Census data when that becomes available.
