Confronting Inequality: Celebrating Diversity
The Gender Equality Scheme is an important addition to the University’s clear and well-documented commitment to equality for all in work and study. With the introduction of the Sex Discrimination Act in 1975 it might have been forgivable to suppose that the major battles for gender equality were all but won. It is clear from the evidence in our Scheme that many changes both in wider society and at the University itself have taken place in the intervening years - but equally clear that this is an evolving and dynamic area and we must strive to continually improve; the requirement for constant review of equality of opportunity reaches into every corner of the University’s work and operations. Gender equality is about men and women achieving their aspirations in whatever direction they choose and meeting their full potential. This Scheme is welcomed in taking us further towards that goal and receives my full support.
The University of Bradford Union (UBU) welcomes the Gender Equality Scheme. We have a long history of campaigning on a variety of gender issues. We recognise and celebrate that gender equality has made some real progress but that there is still a long struggle to achieve true equality. We are happy to have had input into the Scheme, both through the Gender Equality Steering Group and UBU’s Equality and Diversity Committee. UBU will continue to work closely with the institution on the Scheme and the implementation of the Action Plan.
