·ÛºìÅ®ÀÉ is committed to achieving barrier-free accessibility for persons with disabilities studying, visiting and working at ·ÛºìÅ®ÀÉ. As part of this commitment, there are a variety of services, groups and committees on campus devoted to promoting accessibility and to ensuring that individuals have equitable access to services and facilities.

In 2009, a comprehensive Employment Systems Review (ESR) was conducted on ·ÛºìÅ®ÀÉ's behalf by an external consultant, Barbara Herring and Associates Inc. The consultant was hired by ·ÛºìÅ®ÀÉ to examine a wide range of human resource practices and policies, and to make recommendations for removing obstacles, which may be experienced by designated group members (Aboriginal persons, women, visible minorities, and persons with disabilities) within ·ÛºìÅ®ÀÉ's workforce.
