Equity and Diversity Committee

Our Equity Committee works to ensure that our faculty is a fair and inclusive place to work and study and a place where diversity is celebrated.

We develop, promote, and monitor strategies within our faculty and within the equity community across the University to provide equal opportunities as well as work and study environments where everyone has a chance to reach their potential.

The Equity and Diversity Committee of the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences works to:

• Ensure that our faculty is a fair and inclusive place to work and study
• Develop, promote and monitor strategies within our faculty and the wider University community to provide equal opportunities for staff and students
• Build work and study environments where everyone has a chance to reach their potential
• Celebrate diversity within our faculty

The Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences and the equity committee recognise Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi as our foundational document and the status of Māori as tangata whenua.

The diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds of our committee make a valuable contribution toward achieving equity in our faculty.
