Global, Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee

The purpose of the Global Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee is to provide Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) leadership across the institution globally, including meeting legal duties and overseeing delivery of all EDI-related plans and commitments.

The Committee is responsible for providing clear accountability and leadership to drive delivery of the University’s EDI ambitions. The Committee will provide regular reports to the University Executive, including an annual report on progress against the University’s EDI goals for onward transmission to the Staff Committee and the University Court. Other reporting to the Global Operations Executive, the Staff Committee, the University Court and other relevant committees will take place when required. The Global Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Committee is responsible for delivery and awareness of all EDI-related matters globally and within the individual jurisdictions of the University, recognising that legal frameworks differ.
