Decolonizing, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion 

Our commitment to Decolonizing, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (DEDI) is reflected in our comprehensive strategies to promote these principles across the York University community. Our frameworks and action plans are designed to address systemic barriers, elevate marginalized voices, and ensure that our policies and practices are inclusive, equitable, and just.
