Press for the employer to collect and share demographic data on the campus community
The impact of COVID-19 on the working lives of academic staff will differ by many factors, including identities. Demographic data should be collected on the workforce by race, gender, disability, Indigeneity, age, etcetera, to provide insights on who may be most impacted and to assist in making evidence-based decisions. Academic staff associations can assist in this process by raising awareness among members to encourage them to self-identify as part of an employment systems review or workforce analysis
