Our Ethos Sample Clauses

Our Ethos. The University has a long tradition of widening access to education, fostering a respectful and inclusive environment where all backgrounds are celebrated. Our equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) ambitions align with our Mission in which each human being is unique and valued. To support these ambitions our busy Widening Participation team identifies and eliminates barriers for students where we can, and our thriving staff and student EDI networks work to improve the experience of all students during their time with us. We are proud that our University is a richly diverse community, where we draw on the talents of all our students and staff to create a culture of mutual respect and recognition, where we embrace and share new perspectives.
