Indigenous Identity and Hiring Process

Western, like many postsecondary institutions in Canada, is moving beyond the sole reliance upon Indigenous self-identification in hiring designated Indigenous roles to safeguard against use of incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information regarding claims of Indigenous identity. Candidates who are invited for an interview will be asked to have their claim to Indigenous identity affirmed through a relational accountability process, led by the Office of Indigenous Initiatives (OII). Please contact the OII directly for details on the affirmation processes: https://indigenous.uwo.ca/.
