Election terms and processes
The University is dedicated to creating an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment – to create better futures, together. Valuing the inclusion of diverse backgrounds, characteristics and opinions within our community is a great strength and is key to our pursuit of delivering educational excellence, enterprise, research and professional services.
Currently people from minoritised groups, protected characteristics and a diversity of backgrounds are underrepresented in our committees. To ensure greater voice is given to underrepresented groups in decision making we have committed to achieving a minimum of 15% committee members from racialised minorities and 40% female.
We welcome nominations from people from diverse backgrounds and minoritised groups and urge all colleagues to take positive action to help create a more inclusive environment by encouraging and supporting other colleagues to put themselves forwards.
