As an eligibility requirement, all institutions that participate in the program are required to develop and submit their 2021-2029 equity target plan to the program by the deadline of June 4, 2021. These plans will require setting equity targets for each of the four designated groups (as applicable), for each of the target deadlines, to lead institutions incrementally, over the period of 2021-2029, to the population-based equity targets.
The following tables represent the University of Guelph’s actual and target representation of individuals from the four designated groups. In keeping with the Privacy Act, if the actual number (and associated percentage) of chairholders who self-identified as belonging to one of the four groups is less than five, it is withheld to protect the privacy of chairholders.
