Human Rights & Equity OfficeThe DEAP Tool has been developed by Queen's Equity Services to assist Units to better understand the environments and climate relating to equity and diversity in their Units. The DEAP Tool is a self-audit tool for internal use for Units to:
- Understand the demographic profile of their staff, faculty, and students
- Assess how inclusive the Unit is
- Provide an opportunity to reflect on areas in need of improvement using the Diversity Score Card assessment template
- Support requests for resources or modifications to further commitments to equity and diversity
- Develop an action plan and timeline to enhance inclusion
The Tool also is designed to complement other administrative responsibilities such as:
- Strategic Planning
- Cyclical Review Process (CPR) and Queen's University Quality Assurance Process (QUQAP's)
- Hiring and Appointments Processes
- Implementation of the Academic Plan
