CHREI Supported Committee
RISE
The RISE Committee aims to foster an inclusive environment with the purpose of working towards the elimination of racism at York University. The Committee aims to create mechanisms for support and proactive institutional practices to remove barriers and increase access and agency for York’s racialized members. Its work recognizes the intersections of race with age, ancestry, citizenship, creed (religion), colour, disability, ethnic origin, family status, gender identity (gender expression), marital status, sex (including pregnancy), place of origin, record of offences, receipt of public assistance, and sexual orientation.
Other CHREI supported committees:
RISE was established in 2016 to enhance the university community’s ability to bring issues of race and racism to the forefront of conversations on York campuses.
Committee members will provide proactive consultations on:
- Policy review and revision
- Program development
- Resources development
