Principles & Commitments
Principles
NAIT’s actions and attitudes on equity, diversity and inclusion will be guided by four principles, which form the foundation from which our communities will rise together.
Resourced
NAIT has identified equity, diversity and inclusion as institutional commitments and we are mindful of them when allocating time, effort, budget and resources.
Iterative
The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy is a continuous project that evolves with our communities. The actions it inspires in our institution and in each of us will also evolve.
Shared responsibility
NAIT engages everyone to play an active role in building a more equitable, diverse and inclusive community.
Empowered
NAIT provides all community members with the tools and ability to implement meaningful change.
