Supporting Inclusivity at Carleton

Community, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (CEDI) is one of the formal ways Carleton upholds our statement on diversity and creates a welcoming, inclusive environment for all.

What CEDI Does

We serve in an advisory role to the Vice President of Inclusion, Equity and Community providing feedback on and support for efforts to achieve our institutional IDE goals. CEDI aims to connect faculty, students, and staff to the work of the IEC Division.

CEDI reports progress regularly to the College Council, Cabinet, and to the campus in the form of an annual report.

CEDI assists in promoting initiatives in each of the following areas:

Supporting Individuals

  • Educate talented and diverse students
  • Create opportunities to encounter difference

Supporting Academic Community

  • Foster diversity of thought
  • Attract and retain diverse faculty, staff, and students

Supporting Community Relationships

  • Support underrepresented groups
  • Create and affirm a culture of respect
  • Provide a safe living and learning environment
