Culture of Respect in the Faculty of Computer Science

We believe Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA) is fundamental听to education. CoReCS committee supports diverse communities within the faculty of Computer Science and beyond by creating opportunities for all to learn, reflect, and converse on topics related to 鈥淐ulture of Respect鈥�, and increase the sense of belonging, welcoming and safe for all. Disespectful behaviour听- (e.g., misogyny*, racism, homophobia, ablism) - in our classrooms, on our campus and in our community is unacceptable.

新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 Strategic Direction includes a commitment to foster a culture of inclusiveness and diversity. In January 2015, a committee to advance this aspect of 新加坡六合彩开奖直播鈥檚 Strategic Direction was struck under Charter 5.2.

*Misogyny is defined as "Dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women." by听.) Learn more about our听culture of respect at Dal.

Who we are

Mandate

To enhance the teaching, learning, social and working environment for everyone in the Faculty of Computer Science through respectful and bias-free behaviours through a process of advocacy, engagement, communication, and education using a non-performative, data-driven approach. Our committee recognizes that equity is an ongoing challenge within the field of Computer Science and seeks to be action oriented.

Principles

  • The approach of CoReCS will be educational, advocational, and future oriented. CoReCS will be actionable and avoid performative equity. CoReCS will leverage educational material and supports to achieve long-term progress towards a faculty of respect according to Equity, Inclusion, Diversity, and Accessibility (EDIA) paradigm.
  • The Committee recognizes the seriousness of this work and will move ahead through a process of consultation with and education by appropriate faculty internal expertise and university resources (i.e. Human Resources, Office of Human Rights & Equity Services, and Student Affairs).
  • The work of committee members will not be disciplinary. Thus, disciplinary or processes regarding a breach of respect within FCS will be handled through the existing processes available at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播, such as through the Student Code of Conduct, the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Equity Policy, and/or Human Resources.
  • The committee will identify and analyze issues affecting the culture of respect in the Faculty of Computer Science via a data-oriented approach. Our committee will seek to report data transparently and be replicable. Therefore, the committee will be authorized to collect, and access current and historical anonymized data for the purpose of producing an annual report regarding EDIA issues (e.g. demographics, enrollment, scholarships, employment, reports, complaints, actions, etc.).
  • Operations by the committee and its members will be from an informed standpoint, drawing on appropriate and relevant internal and external resources as needed for advice and training.

Six suggestions for speaking up

Be ready

Promise yourself to not remain silent, know that it will happen again, summon your courage 鈥� whatever it takes. Practice things to say, open ended is good: 鈥淲hy did you say that?鈥� or 鈥淗ow did you develop that belief?鈥� 

 

Identify the behaviour

Use reflective listening, avoid labeling, name-calling or blame. Describe the behaviour, don鈥檛 label the person. Ie: 鈥淛anice, what I hear you saying is that Mexicans are lazy鈥� etc. 

 

Appeal to principles

This works well if the person is known to you like a friend, sibling, co-worker etc. 鈥淛oe, I have always thought of you as a fair-minded person, so it shocks me when I hear you say something like that.鈥� 

 

Set limits

You cannot control another person, but you can control what happens in your space. 鈥淧lease don鈥檛 tell racist jokes in my presence anymore鈥� or 鈥淭his classroom is not a place where I allow homophobia to occur鈥� and then follow through. 

 

Find an ally / be an ally

Seek out like-minded people for support or support others in their challenges. Lead by example and inspire others to do the same. 

 

Be vigilant

Change happens slowly, but be prepared, and keep speaking up. Don鈥檛 let yourself be silenced.
