Employment Equity Survey for Faculty Applicants

The University of British Columbia hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity. To evaluate how the faculty is achieving this goal, the Faculty of Education collects information about the diversity of its applicant pools through an online survey. You are encouraged to complete our employment equity survey. Your participation is voluntary and anonymous. The information will not be used to determine eligibility for employment or linked in any way to your application. Results of the survey will provide information that will assist us in understanding the diversity of our applicant pool and identify potential barriers to the employment of designated equity group members. Your participation is appreciated.

Please answer each question, where appropriate. Note that a person may be a member of more than one designated group. All information is anonymous. Thank you for your participation.
