10.26529/cepsj.965  \nThe Policy Efforts to Address Racism and  \nDiscrimination in Higher Education Institutions: The Case of Canada  \nMuhammed Muazzam Hussain1  \n• This paper reviews existing policies related to anti-racism and anti-discrimination at five major universities in Canada and assesses the equity initiatives undertaken by university authorities to promote greater access and inclusion of different ethnic minority groups. The study is based on secondary data sources. Therefore, policy papers, documents, study reports available in those universities, government policy and legislation, journals, and similar were consulted to construct the piece. Findings reveal that although the universities have some sort of antiracism and anti-discrimination policies to combat racism and discrimination in their educational setting, they face challenges or limitations in adopting holistic and inclusive measures for the different ethnic and diverse minority groups studying there. The study argued for promoting discussions and responses to specific policies, programmes, and practices, including behaviours and attitudes in the institutional and professional contexts, for combating racism and discrimination. The findings may be helpful for academics, policymakers, and administrators to develop their understanding of institutional racism, identify challenges, and adopt policy measures to address it.  \nKeywords: anti-racism, anti-discrimination, higher education institutions, policy, Canada  \n1 Department of Social Work of the Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Bangladesh; [muazzam777@yahoo.com](muazzam777@yahoo.com).  \n10 the policy efforts to address racism and discrimination in higher education    \nPolitike prizadevanja za obravnavanje rasizma in diskriminacije v visokošolskih zavodih: primer Kanade  \nMuhammed Muazzam Hussain  \n• 􀂋lanek obravnavna obstoječe politike, povezane s preprečevanjem rasiz-ma in diskriminacije petih večjih kanadskih univerz, in ovrednoti pobude po pravičnosti, ki so se jim zavezala vodstva univerz z namenomspodbujanja večjega dostopa in vključenosti različnih etničnih manjšin. Raziskava temelji na sekundarnih podatkovnih virih. Za pripravo članka smo pregledali strateške in druge dokumente, študijska poročila, vladno politiko in zakonodajo, revije ter druge podobne spise. Izsledki kažejo, da se, čeprav imajo univerze vzpostavljeno nekakšno protirasistično in protidiskriminacijsko politiko, namenjeno boju proti rasizmu in diskriminaciji v njihovem izobraževalnem okolju, vseeno srečujejo zizzivi ali omejitvami pri prevzemanju holističnih in inkluzivnih ukrepov za različne etnične in manjšinske skupine, ki tam študirajo. Študija se je zavzemala za spodbujanje razprav in odzivov na specifične politike, programe in prakse, vključujoča vedenja in odnose v institucionalnemin strokovnem kontekstu, ki obstajajo v boju proti rasizmu in diskriminaciji. Ugotovitve so lahko v pomoč akademikom, oblikovalcem politikin skrbnikom, da razvijejo svoje razumevanje institucionalnega rasizma, da prepoznajo izzive in sprejmejo ukrepe, ki bi to naslovili.  \nKljučne besede: protirasizem, protidiskriminacija, visokošolski zavodi, politika, Kanada  \nIntroduction  \nRacism and discrimination are pervasive in the academic arena of Canada and the United States, which bears a legacy of its colonial past. It causes profound harm to people of Aboriginal groups, migrants and people of colour in their obtaining education, as well as their health and work lives (Brathwaite et al., 2022; Zuberi & Ptashnick, 2017). Challenging racism and discrimination in higher education institutions (HEIs) has been regarded as highly troublesome, complex, and a matter of debate (Law, 1996; Gillborn, 1995). The idea of institutional racism is socially constructed as embedded in the socio-political structure of a particular country systematically and prevails in subtle forms, and is pervasive in police service, education, health care, art, literature, ","cbCaidFbl3EE5Avj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidFbl3EE5Avj","pdf",172661,21,"English","# Introduction\n## Colonial expropriation, racism and discrimination\n## The UN Convention and human rights approach\n## Canada’s commitments and university implementation challenges","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this study on Canadian higher education institutions?\",\"answer\":\"To review anti-racism and anti-discrimination policies in Canadian HEIs, assess equity initiatives by university authorities, and identify challenges to improving access and inclusion for ethnic minority groups.\"},{\"question\":\"What data sources does the study rely on?\",\"answer\":\"The study is based on secondary data sources, consulting policy papers and documents from universities, government policy and legislation, study reports, and academic journals.\"},{\"question\":\"What challenges do universities face despite having anti-racism and anti-discrimination policies?\",\"answer\":\"They encounter limitations in adopting holistic and inclusive measures tailored to different ethnic and diverse minority groups studying in their educational settings.\"}]","The Policy Efforts to Address Racism and Discrimination in Higher Education Institutions - The Case of Canada | PDF",1792086831,53]
