UBC school of social work equity and diversity strategic plan: A compilation of case studies 2 Executive Summary This report provides recommendations for the School of Social Work at the University of British Columbia (UBC) for the development of a comprehensive equity policy and plan (the Educational Equity and Diversity Strategic Plan). It includes five individual case studies of both Canadian and international Schools and Faculties of Social Work, which provide examples of policies, practices, and processes in furthering educational equity, diversity, and inclusion. In addition to the individual case studies, this report contains a final analytical section, called Equity in Action: An Analysis of Exemplary Processes and Practices (p. 55). This analysis ends with lessons learned and suggestions for policy and practice. The information and analysis are presented under seven themes that are of critical consideration in implementing equity plans: leadership, governance, and strategic commitment; staff and faculty recruitment and retention; student outreach, admission, and support; scholarship; curriculum; pedagogy; and climate. This report – in addition to the other phases of the Educational Equity and Diversity Strategic Plan, which include a literature review/annotated bibliography and extensive consultation with stakeholders through dialogue groups, a survey, focus groups, and interviews – provides content and recommendations for a plan to move forward and sustain equity at the UBC School of Social Work. The next phase of this project will include interviews with faculty and staff, as well as a written analysis of themes emerging from these interviews, which will lead to the drafting of a plan for the School of Social Work.
