75% Informative

University of Alberta is moving forward with a new framework and new language: access, community, and belonging.

Bill Flanagan : We are committed to drawing exceptional talent and fostering a vibrant intellectual community that reaches across divides and reflects the rich diversity of Alberta and beyond.

For some, the language of EDI has become polarizing, focusing more on what divides us rather than our shared humanity.
