мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ö±²¥'s Employment Equity through Affirmative Action Policy establishes the university’s commitment to employment equity and outlines how employment equity will be implemented throughout the University. The Policy describes the following essential components of Employment Equity:
• Removing discriminatory barriers to employment and promotion
• Introducing positive policies and practices and establishing goals and timetables to work towards achieving employment equity by increasing designated group members through recruitment, hiring, training, and promotion
• Improving participation of designated group members at all levels of the University through hiring, training, and promotion

The Policy also recognizes the need to give affirmative treatment in all aspects of employment to the following groups:
• racially visible persons (especially people of black African descent indigenous to Nova Scotia)
• aboriginal persons (especially people of Mi’kmaq descent)
• persons with a disability
• women

The Council on Employment Equity works with the Human Rights & Equity Advisor to implement мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±Ö±²¥'s policy on affirmative action and equal opportunity, including proposing to the President measurable goals and timetables for the recruitment, advancement and work environment of the designated groups.
