Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Committee
Committee Structure · Inclusion · Wellbeing · Grievance Support
Committee mandate — four pillars
Equal treatment for all
The committee works to ensure that no student or staff member receives less favorable treatment on the basis of gender, nationality, disability, religion, age, or any other personal characteristic. Institutional practices are reviewed to identify and reduce inequities.
Student wellbeing oversight
The committee coordinates with counseling, health, and academic support services to promote student wellbeing and equitable access to services. Wellbeing is treated as a core part of successful participation in university life.
Complaints and grievance handling
A formal and confidential channel is available for complaints related to discrimination, harassment, or unfair treatment. Complaints are reviewed impartially, handled with sensitivity, and responded to within a defined process.
Disability inclusion
In collaboration with the Disability Support Office, the committee supports campus accessibility, accommodation measures, specialist services, and inclusive practices that help students with disabilities participate fully in academic and campus life.
