York University’s Centre for Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion (CHREI) promotes and builds a respectful, equitable, diverse, and inclusive university community. As part of the Division on Equity, People & Culture, we strive to be a leader in providing accessible, impartial, non-adversarial, and confidential programs and services that uphold human rights, facilitate equitable access to opportunities, and champion anti-racist frameworks (such as anti-Indigenous, anti-black, antisemitism and Islamophobia) as well as decolonizing equity, diversity and inclusion (DEDI).
Our Guiding Frameworks, Principles & Action Plans
York University aims to create a climate of understanding and mutual respect for the dignity and worth of each Community Member. Our goal is for each person to feel that they are a part of the university and able to contribute fully to the development and well-being of the community. The university is committed to ensuring a safe and respectful environment that supports academic freedom where community members are able to gather and express diverse ideas. In line with this committment, we prioritize safety, zero tolerance for discrimination, and engender our community's collective responsibility in upholding these principles.
Our Services are available to everyone in the YorkU community.
