Our Equality Objectives

Last month the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Team launched their equality objectives, which are a 3 year plan for the University.

  1. To bring about a step change in race diversity and equality
  2. To continue to eradicate gender disparities
  3. To ensure an inclusive accessible and open working and learning environment for all staff and students

As part of that launch they had a factsheet hand-out created which has some pretty striking information on it did you know…

  • At SHU there is an attainment gap of 18% between BAME and white students gaining a higher degree classification
  • 2.4% of staff at Hallam declare their sexual orientation as LGB
  • SHU have an above average percentage of professors who are female 29% vs 22% (in the sector)

If you would like to know more you can download the fact sheet here.
