Fair Treatment Policy Review
The UPEI Action Plan: Building A Culture of Trust, Safety and Inclusion (the “Action Plan”) commits to a new harassment and discrimination policy for the university. This commitment was made in response to the University of Prince Edward Island Review by Rubin Thomlinson, which recommends the replacement of the current Fair Treatment Policy (FTP), and following the motion passed by the UPEI Board of Governors on November 28, 2023, to this effect:
A Review Committee will be struck, in accordance with the current Fair Treatment Policy (12.7.1), to engage in a university-wide consultative process, with the aim of arriving at a recommendation for a new Harassment and Discrimination Policy and Sexual Violence Policy.
FTP 12.7.1 The President will constitute a committee composed of interested parties to review this policy every three years. The parties may include a broad cross section of the university community such as: The Board of Governors, administration, students, and employees. The Policy review committee may receive recommendations from the appropriate interest groups. The President may elect to involve health professionals, community representatives or other interested groups in the review process as resource persons. The Fair Treatment Advocate would also be a resource to the committee.
The Review Committee will meet every 2–3 weeks between December 2024 through March 2025, to arrive at a final recommendation on or before March 31, 2025.
Expressions of interest to serve on the Review Committee will be accepted until December 6, 2024, through the Fair Treatment Policy Review Committee Expression of Interest form.
