Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

The purpose of the HASS Faculty Wellbeing Inclusion and Culture Committee is to lead an ongoing process of collaboration towards making the Faculty, and wider University of Exeter, a place in which all staff and students can thrive in a diverse and globally-engaged community, in accordance with Vision 2030. 

It will be accountable for the development and implementation of strategies arising from University, Faculty and Departmental initiatives towards this goal.  It will attend to and regularly review its own practices to ensure it models inclusive working (e.g. across and between academic/PS job families), and will adopt an enabling approach that will draw upon diverse strengths and expertise, including the commission of subgroups to undertake specific tasks and make recommendations.  These will cover initiatives arising from actions to address inequalities centring on protected characteristics (e.g. race and ethnicity, disability, LGBTQI+, gender), the wider portfolio of initiatives under the remit of the University of Exeter’s WICC committee, as well as Faculty and Departmental-led priorities, as appropriate.
