Dr. Angela Jaime

In July 2021, the USask Board of Governors approved a new policy on Indigenous membership/citizenship verification, the result of ground-breaking work by a task force led by Indigenous Elders and leaders. Previously, verification relied on self-identification and had been conducted internally. Now, Indigenous communities will decide what evidence is required when faculty, staff and students apply for positions or scholarships where they could gain a material advantage.

Dr. Jaime will present on the journey to develop that policy and lead a panel of task force members in discussing it’s future and the implications for post-secondary education.
