CCC Mandate

CCC Mandate

A Summary of the Self-Defined Mandate of the University of Toronto Astronomy Community Climate Committee (CCC) is as Follows:

  1. Provide a synthesized list of actionable recommendations. Driven by UTCAP, APS, Race climate reports, but not limited to these reports.
  2. Provide specific timelines in which recommendations should be implemented within.
  3. Monitor the climate within the units; provide people another venue for reporting issues year-round. 
  4. Track outcomes form our recommendations
  5. Create a framework for accountability for whether our recommendations are acted upon.

 

The CCC members meet on a monthly basis to discuss actionable items to be presented to leadership. The Committee chairs provide monthly input to unit heads based on a consensus developed in the CCC. Critically, the CCC is not responsible for enacting all of these recommendations; however, the DADDAA Chair and Dunlap Director can request additional input, information, and actions from the Committee where appropriate.

The CCC does not replace any other standing group in the department, such as GASA  or its committees, although it may be productive to work together on common interests.
