University Equality Statement
The University of Glasgow is committed to promoting equality in all its activities and aims to provide a work, learning, research and teaching environment free from discrimination and unfair treatment.
The Equality and Diversity Team
Equality and diversity is of primary importance to the University of Glasgow. In August 2007 we established the Scottish Higher Education sector's first dedicated Equality & Diversity Unit (EDU). The Unit, comprising of 3 staff, is responsible for promoting and embedding all aspects of equality and diversity with the University community.
Our remit includes;
- Promoting best practice in equality and diversity
- Mainstreaming equality and diversity throughout all policies and practices
- Providing a confidential service of advice and guidance to staff and students
- Building relationships with appropriate community groups
- Ensuring the University is compliant with equalities legislation
- Responding to appropriate consultation requirements
The current legislation covers six strands of equality: age disability, gender, race, religion and belief and sexual orientation. If you have an enquiry concerning an equality or diversity issue please call in person or make contact by telephone or email, where we will provide a professional, caring and confidential service to address your concerns.
