Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

The University of Nottingham is a community where everyone can

contribute and be appreciated for who they are. We intend to provide an
inclusive, respectful and considerate environment.
We believe that discrimination represents a lost opportunity. It
denies individuals a voice and an opportunity to reach their full potential. We
consider that these values are as important as academic excellence. To
strengthen this policy, at present, a team of academics are delivering a
course on the meaning of inclusion. We all consider ourselves inclusive, but
more often than not, some discriminatory practices are so deeply rooted that
we do not notice them.
