Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) committee
The EDI Committee at the London School work in line with the University’s EDI Core Plan and follow its own Action Plan. Its Action Plan is developed based on EDI related data and devised by the EDI Committee.
The EDI Committee work towards ensuring to create an anti-discriminatory campus for all its students and staff. The Committee meet every month and develop actionable policies and plans.
Diversity of experience, thought, and perspective enriches our university and enhances the lives of our community members. It is essential to our ongoing development as an international institution. We recognise that historically, differing access to education maintained social inequality. Although higher education has made strides in widening participation in recent decades, much work remains to achieve true equality in academic opportunity and attainment.
