Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Pursuing an agenda of equity and inclusion within our ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ community.
The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ of Adelaide was founded in 1874 with a noble goal: to prepare, for South ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥, young leaders shaped by education, rather than birth or wealth, in a settlement free of old-world social and religious inequalities.
The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥â€™s Strategic Plan, Future Making , shaping the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥â€™s trajectory through to its 150th year and beyond, is explicit in the ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥â€™s commitment to diversify its student cohort, with greater access and equity, and in valuing our staff. This is reinforced by the Staff Values and Behaviour Framework .
The ÐÓ°ÉÖ±²¥ addresses structural and cultural impediments to diversity and inclusion through its various action plans (Yangadlitya – Reconciliation Action Plan, the Disability Inclusion Action Plan (DIAP), and the Dornwell Framework [MA1] – staff gender equity strategy), the implementation of which are promoted and supported by working parties and monitored by the Vice-Chancellor’s Executive.
