4. We work with relevant others across our Universities, including the various bargaining units, to ensure equitable treatment in promotion and job opportunities, and a welcoming work environment that is free of discrimination and microaggressions, particularly in relation to sexual orientation and gender identity;

5. We advocate for change across our Universities, including the development and amendment of policies impacting upon the lived experience of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities;
