College Inclusivity Group
The University of Exeter Business School’s College Inclusivity Group has a primary function to support the University’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) agenda. The College Inclusivity Groups:
- supported and informed by 5 theme leads who each represent one of the University’s 5 equality group protected characteristics: Disability, Faith & Worldview, Race, Gender and Sexual Orientation
- is accountable and responsible for providing strategic leadership and direction on all matters relating to EDI and discrimination affecting both staff and students with the College
- agrees priorities, makes decisions, commissions work and guides the prioritisation of existing budgets to enable success in EDI
- works towards increasing the representation of our underrepresented and diverse communities particularly within senior academic and professional service roles and in decision-making structures
At the University of Exeter Business School, we are committed to a truly embedded inclusive culture that runs through everything we do and represents the diverse community we are and continue to build. The objectives for the Business School are to:
- enable students and staff to support diversity and challenge discrimination by promoting cultural change and more inclusive language
- support colleagues by providing learning opportunities to better enable the creation of inclusive educational experiences for our students
- enable the growth of our underrepresented and diverse communities and improving representation within senior academic and professional services role as well as in decision making structures.
UEBS-CIG membership comprises Academics, Professional Services staff and Undergraduate (UG) & Postgraduate (PG) students within our community and is further supported by external University of Exeter stakeholders. The College is committed to ensuring that diverse representation of our community is maintained.
