What is Racial Equality?
Like elsewhere in society, individuals working at the University of Exeter can
face discrimination because of their colour, ethnicity, religion, language and
race. To create a working environment where all students, staff and others
associated with university are treated with –dignity and respect, the university
has developed a Race Equality Policy.
What is our Race Equality Policy?
The Racial Equality Policy and Action Plan states what the university community
is actually doing to create a working environment that is respectful for
cultural diversity. For example:
A way for individuals or groups to raise freely any racial inequality that
