The following resources have been designed to build capacity of students, faculty and staff to address discrimination and uphold human rights at UBC.
The development of these resources was guided by several principles, including grounding the materials in the Canadian human rights legal framework, the B.C. Human Rights Code, UBC policies and the mandate of the Equity & Inclusion Office.
