The Brandon University Faculty Association (BUFA) is committed to securing equity for members of historically marginalized, excluded, and oppressed groups who have been systemically disadvantaged by the Association and the university environment. For the purposes of defining members of equity groups, BUFA shall consider the four designated groups identified in legislation, which are as follows: women, Indigenous persons, disabled persons, and racialized persons. BUFA also considers gender, sex, and sexuality minoritized persons (e.g., members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community) as equity-deserving members. In addition to these groups, the Association is committed to anti-discriminatory actions, both adverse effect and direct, related to the aforementioned identities as well as those related to culture, age, nationality, ethnic origin, colour, and ability. We acknowledge that historically, our Collective Agreement, BUFA’s actions, policies, procedures, and past practice have played a role in these inequitable outcomes for our membership. As such, BUFA commits to actively removing existing barriers to inclusiveness, involvement, and representation within the Association’s policies and practices for members of the designated groups.
