#fsFor Faculty & Staff

The Peter A. Allard School of Law fosters a collegial, collaborative environment in which faculty, staff and students participate in a supportive and respectful community that values the diverse contributions of its members. The Faculty celebrates, supports and promotes the importance of diversity and equality to a vibrant law school. The Allard School of Law provides an inclusive environment for all community members.

Both UBC and the law school are governed by UBC’s Policy on Discrimination and Harassment (PDF).

If you have experienced discrimination or harassment at the Allard School of Law, or have concerns or questions about access, equity or diversity, there are a number of resources available to you.

Did you know UBC has an Indigenous Business Directory?

In 2024, the Indigenous Business Directory was launched to support locating and identifying Indigenous businesses to consider when making purchasing decisions at UBC.

The directory is a centralized resource to empower faculty and staff to identify businesses that align with their procurement needs, and foster proactive engagement with the Indigenous business community. The businesses are identified as majority-owned/controlled (51% or more) by Indigenous peoples.

We appreciate your commitment to fostering a more inclusive and supportive business environment for Indigenous businesses.
