The group will be tasked with understanding the concerns and priorities of members of the LGBTQ+ community at Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ in its diversity, and with developing a set of recommended actions and a plan to deliver them.

It will establish accountability for work in this area, underpinning a sustained institutional focus on promoting equity, diversity, and inclusivity. This will include tackling inequality, marginalisation, and discrimination experienced by LGBTQ+ staff and students at Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾, with particular attention given to trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming members of our community.

LEIG will report directly to Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøվ’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Committee, and via that to Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøվ’s University Management Committee (UMC).

Professor Sasha Roseneil, Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøվ’s Pro-Provost (Equity and Inclusion), is currently in discussions with LGBTQ+ staff groups and representatives from Students’ Union Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ to confirm the aims and membership of the group.
