The FAUW Equity Committee is currently seeking nominations for the 2024 Equity & Inclusivity Award.

Inaugurated in 2012, the Equity & Inclusivity Award recognizes a member, group, or affiliate of the University of Waterloo community. The award is meant to further support individuals or groups who have demonstrated an exemplary commitment to improving equity, inclusivity, and/or diversity at University of Waterloo. 

The revised Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) between FAUW and the University, in support of the Policy 76/77 agreement, has passed by a majority vote of FAUW’s voting members. Turnout was over 65% of voting members. 

This vote required a double majority by lecturers and professors to ratify the changes to the MoA. The results by rank are as follows: 

  • 94% of voting lecturers were in favour of ratification 

  • 88.6% of voting professors were in favour of ratification 

  • 90.1% of all voters were in favour of ratification 

Detailed certified results are available on the MoA ratification vote 2024 webpage

These results mean that the changes to Policy 76/77 agreed to in December 2023 can move forward. The next step is for these policies to be approved by the Board of Governors at their April meeting. 

The changes outlined in Policy 76/77 will come into effect September 1, 2024. 

Please contact FAUW with any questions or concerns.
