People: Chairs Program and Diversity Targets

people: Recent data showed the University of Ottawa is missing all of those targets, but Isabelle Mailloux Pulkinghorn, said the school has made real progress since last fall, according to Metro News. We're confident that the next time the chairs program collects this data, our numbers will show this progress. The federal government pledged earlier this month to prevent schools that don't meet diversity targets including women, visible minorities, Indigenous people and people with disabilities from applying for future chair positions. She said the school does open-advertising, has diverse hiring committees and is making every step it can to diversify. Amir Attaran, a University of Ottawa professor who recently held a research chair and is now suing the university for discrimination disagrees. The University of Ottawa has redoubled its efforts to ensure measures are in place throughout its Canada Research Chair recruitment and nomination process to support the full participation of members of these groups.
