Be an Advisor to the Office of Human Rights and Equity

In recognition that equity-seeking groups are often the experts on both their situations and the
needed solutions, we are pleased to announce the launch of Advisory Committees to the Office of Human Rights and Equity (OHRE).

Advisory Committees will provide critical information to the OHRE on issues that affect specific
equity seeking groups as well as recommend best practices in prevention and response
programming.

The Advisory Committees will consist of students, staff and faculty who identify as belonging to a respective equity-seeking group as well as allies with experience working for human rights. Advisory Committees will be facilitated by the OHRE and will meet once per semester. There will be four advisory committees:

• Advisory Committee on Creed Based Discrimination
• Advisory Committee on Race and Racial Discrimination
• Advisory Committee on Sexuality and Gender (LGBTQ2IS+) Discrimination
• Advisory Committee on Sexual Harassment and Discrimination

If you are interested in being a part of one of the advisory committees please fill out the application form, indicating your interest. We are looking for applicants from both Thunder Bay and Orillia Campus. This initiative is open to all members of the University community (faculty, staff, and students) and we strongly encourage members of equity-seeking groups to apply.
The Office of Human Rights and Equity will follow up with applicants selected to be a part of each of the Committees by the end of October.

The deadline to apply is Monday, Oct. 15. For more information please contact the Office of Human Rights and Equity at ext. 7765 or by email at humanrights@lakeheadu.ca.
