About Toronto Metropolitan

At the intersection of mind and action, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) is on a transformative path to become Canada’s leading comprehensive innovation university. Integral to this path is the placement of equity, diversity and inclusion as fundamental to our institutional culture. Our current outlines each as core values and we work to embed them in all that we do.

TMU welcomes those who have demonstrated a commitment to upholding the values of equity, diversity, and inclusion and will assist us in realizing the benefits of embedding these values into the work at every level and in every unit of the university. In addition, to correct the conditions of disadvantage in employment in Canada and to bring lived experiences to the work, we encourage applications from members of equity deserving groups that have been historically disadvantaged and marginalized, including First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples in Canada, First Nations Peoples in the United States, racialized people, Black people, persons with disabilities, women, and 2SLGBTQ+ people. Preference will be given to candidates with lived experiences as people from equity deserving groups, as well as experience working with these communities with which the University works every day. Please note that all qualified candidates are encouraged to apply and we welcome newcomers and immigrants to Canada.

In April 2022, the university announced its new name of Toronto Metropolitan University. Learn more about our .

About the Office of the Vice-President, Equity and Community Inclusion (OVPECI)


The Office of the Vice-President, Equity and Community Inclusion (OVPECI) provides leadership to ensure that equity, diversity, and inclusion are a central focal point for the University community through strategic initiatives, policies, programs and practices. Since its creation in 2012, the OVPECI has fostered dialogue and partnerships, establishing a strong campus presence that provides a range of consultation services, educational events and resources. 


The Human Rights Services unit works with members of the TMU community to promote an equitable and inclusive study, work and living environment free of discrimination and harassment. Using a holistic approach, Human Rights Services advocates for a community where the dignity and human rights of all its members are respected and upheld. Indigenous Initiatives builds internal and external partnerships with TMU students, faculty, staff and the broader Indigenous community in order to advance the priorities of the Indigenous Education Council. These priorities include student success, teaching, learning, research, community engagement and capacity building. The Accessibility unit works to identify, remove and prevent barriers to inclusion for persons with disabilities, and in so doing make TMU an accessible learning and working environment. The Research, Planning and Assessment unit oversees TMU’s employee and student diversity self-id surveys, develops evidence based tools and reports, and provides consultation services related to understanding and incorporating data into plans, decisions and actions. The Education, Awareness and Outreach unit provides students, faculty and staff with opportunities to advance their own education and awareness around equity, diversity and inclusion.
