Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Pursuing an agenda of equity and inclusion within our ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog community.
The ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog of Adelaide wasÌýfounded in 1874Ìýwith a noble goal: to prepare, for South ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog, young leaders shaped by education, rather than birth or wealth, in a settlement free of old-world social and religious inequalities.
The ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog’s Strategic Plan,ÌýFuture MakingÌý, shaping the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog’s trajectory through to its 150thÌýyear and beyond, is explicit in the ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog’s commitment to diversify its student cohort, with greater access and equity, and in valuing our staff.Ìý This is reinforced by theÌýStaff Values and Behaviour FrameworkÌý.
The ×îÐÂÌÇÐÄVlog addresses structural and cultural impediments to diversity and inclusion through its various action plans (YangadlityaÌý– Reconciliation Action Plan, the Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP), and theÌýDornwell FrameworkÌý[MA1]ÌýÌý– staff gender equity strategy), the implementation of which are promoted and supported by working parties and monitored by the Vice-Chancellor’s Executive.
