We acknowledge that the land on which we gather in Treaty Six Territory is the traditional gathering place for many indigenous people. We honour and respect the history, languages, ceremonies and culture of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit who call this territory home.
HUMAN RIGHTS
A Culture of Inclusion
We all have the right to study on a campus that is free from discrimination, to participate in our culture, to express ourselves freely. At MacEwan University, we promote a campus culture that values and respects inclusion.
Understanding human rights
Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that every person should have. The Alberta Human Rights Act ensures that all Albertans have an equal opportunity to earn a living, find a place to live and enjoy other services.
Discrimination occurs when someone is treated unfairly or differently, whether intentionally or not, based on one or more than one of the protected grounds identified in the Alberta Human Rights Act: race, religious beliefs, colour, gender, gender identity, gender expression, physical disability, mental disability, ancestry, place of origin, marital status, family status, source of income, sexual orientation and, in some situations, age.
If you would like to learn more, visit the Office of Human Rights, Equity and Diversity on campus or read about human rights legislation in Alberta.
Staff and student diversity
MacEwan University’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee (EDIC) is pleased to provide results of the Count Yourself In! survey, which was conducted to collect basic information on employee diversity. A student survey was also conducted to gauge diversity and inclusion perceptions. Both were conducted in 2019.
