York is committed to employment equity. Employment Equity fosters a diverse and representative workforce at York and manages compliance with legislated employment equity requirements.

| The Federal Contractors Program (FCP) |
|
York is a participant of the Federal Contractors Program (FCP). The FCP applies to provincially regulated employers with a national workforce in Canada of 100 or more employees, and who receive federal government goods or services contracts of $200,000 or more. As a condition for bidding on large federal contracts, such contractors are required to certify in writing their commitment to employment equity and to comply with the criteria and guidelines of the FCP, which are based on the Employment Equity Act.
York is committed to correcting the conditions of disadvantage in employment experienced by the four designated groups under the Employment Equity Act: women, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities.
