Equity
Welcome to this section of the Human Resources Service website that is dedicated to employment equity at the University of Ottawa.
“Equality in employment means that no one is denied opportunities for reasons that have nothing to do with inherent ability. It means equal access free from arbitrary obstructions (discrimination).”
Rosalie Abella, Chair of the Royal Commission on Equality in Employment, 1984
