We note the E&D statement of the University, which should guide the aims of the Department’s E&D committee.
“The University of Cambridge is committed in its pursuit of academic excellence to equality of opportunity and to a proactive and inclusive approach to equality, which supports and encourages all under-represented groups, promotes an inclusive culture, and values diversity.”
The purposes of the Department of Veterinary Medicine E&D committee, which reports to the Strategy & Executive Committee are:
- To promote an inclusive culture in the Department which values diversity
- To engage with and implement University-wide initiatives on equality and diversity
- To identify equality and diversity issues that are specific to the Department and develop and apply action plans to address these issues
- To engage with the Athena SWAN charter, which includes gathering data and preparing submissions for Athena SWAN Awards, implementing action plans and promoting the principles of Athena SWAN.
The E&D committee will meet once per term.
