An inclusive university
Much more can be done to promote equality, inclusion and diversity issues. Together with the Faculty Diversity Officers, the CDO Team, representatives from the Faculty Student Council tasked with promoting diversity, other colleagues and the student body, the Central Diversity Officer strives to realise a more inclusive university dedicated to social justice and characterised by equality, inclusion and diversity. In these efforts, we focus on ethnic diversity and the equality and inclusion of people from all manner of social and cultural backgrounds, genders, faiths, sexual orientations and degrees of ability.
Because every faculty has its own unique identity and issues to tackle, each faculty has its own Faculty Diversity Officer. These people will, in consultation with their faculty communities, help establish the diversity policy for their respective faculties.
