Shaping a More Equitable and Accessible University

Following the initiatives, learnings and stories sparked by the Strategic Plan for Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity (2019–2023), the draft Integrated EDI Action has now been published and is open to your feedback.

As we navigate the challenges of the past few years and learn from our work we look toward the future with critical hope. Our action plan aims to draw from and unite equity, diversity, inclusion and access commitments across institutional and unit plans, ensuring that our strategic priorities are clear and dynamic.
