Foreword

The Commonwealth is responsible for monitoring national progress towards equity objectives and for disseminating information on institutions’ equity strategies. Publication of the Institutional Equity Plans continues this commitment. These Plans, which document the various strategies adopted by universities in their approach to equity, are derived from universities’ strategic planning documents and do not necessarily contain the same level of detail as universities’ internal equity plans.

It is intended that, in future years, tables of performance indicators for each institution about each equity group will be published with the Equity Plans. Such tables will not be published with the Equity Plans this year because they are available in the paper Equity in Higher Education, which was recently published as an occasional paper.

Anyone seeking further information about universities' activities should get in touch with the Contact Officers identified in the Equity Plans.
