Inclusion
The inclusive perspective fosters the expression of each person’s uniqueness and authenticity. Communities like colleges and universities, where members have the opportunity to be authentic in a safe environment, can do better, go further and be more innovative (Nishii, 2019 in Université du Québec à Montréal, n. d.), insofar as it is the richness of diverse contributions that is the organizational driving force.
Diversity
Diversity refers to the conditions, modes of expression and experiences of different groups defined by age, level of education, sexual orientation, parenting status or responsibilities, immigration status, Indigenous status, religion, disability, language, place of origin, ethnic origin, culture, socioeconomic status and other attributes.
Inclusion
Inclusion refers to the action of creating an environment respectful of diversity that fully integrates all the members of its community, accompanying them and offering them support measures to promote well-being and fulfillment. It is a sustained commitment to welcoming, integrating, accompanying and supporting marginalized groups.
Equity
(...)A person with a disability would not be able to study where they wish if the place of study is not accessible.
Such fair treatment is not necessarily the same for everyone: it must take into account different realities to enable all people (e.g., the entire student population) to benefit from the same opportunities.
Accessibility for More Equity
Equity does not mean treating all people in the same way (equal treatment), but rather taking their differences into account and providing the means to reduce barriers or meet their specific needs.
Accessibility
Ensuring something is useable and inclusive for the widest
range people.
