Equality and Diversity
Equality and Diversity at the University of Stirling
The University of Stirling aims to integrate the promotion of equality and diversity into all its activities from key decisions on its mission and strategic objectives through to day-to-day operations. It does not tolerate unjusified discrimination, harassment or victimisation on the grounds of gender, race/ethnic origin, disability, age, religion or belief, sexual orientation, pregnancy, marital or civil partnership status, caring responsibility or other irrelevant characteristics, and is committed to working with diversity in a wholly positive way to promote fairness, inclusiveness, and good relations.
All staff and students (whether existing or potential) and visitors to the University'scampuses should receive fair treatment whatever their relationship with the University.
The University is committed to embedding the principles of equality and fairness in all its policies, functions and decisions. The equality impact of our policies is monitored and assessed. The University actively seeks the views and opinions of members of its community and liaises with external bodies, representative groups and users on the effectiveness and development of these policies. All individuals and organisations with which the University has a contractual arrangement are expected to accept the principles of equality and inclusion, and not to be party to situations which could lead to unfair discrimination.
If you have any views on the University's equality and diversity work, or if you have an equality issue that you want to raise, please let us know by providing feedback. You can do this either by posting a comment in the comments box, or by emailing equality@stir.ac.uk
What's new?
Single Equality Scheme 2009-2012
We have completed our Single Equality Scheme 2009-2012. This document is essentially our strategy and action plan for equality and diversity between December 2009 and December 2012. It replaces our previous Disability and Gender Equality Schemes, and our race equality policy. The Single Equality Scheme incorporates our Disability and Gender Equality Schemes for 2009-2012, and so satisfies our stautory duty to produce these Schemes. The Scheme is available on the Single Equality Scheme page of this site.
