Equality Unit
We recognize the inherent value of every person as a rational and free human being. We are committed to equality between men and women, at the both the institutional level and in our position as communicators of knowledge and values.
Committed to dignity and equality of opportunity
In order to make progress towards a fairer society, conditions of equality must apply to all men and women within it. The Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera, in its role as a communicator of knowledge and educator of students in values, is committed to realizing this, via its Equality Unit. Our purpose at the Equality Unit is to:
- Inform and advise the University’s governing bodies with regard to equality policies.
- Participate in the creation, implementation and assessment of the University’s Equality Plans, which will establish the objectives and strategies required to facilitate equality in treatment and of opportunities at the University.
- Report on those aspects of the University’s regulations and procedures which have a bearing on equality of opportunities for men and women.
- Support research and educational activities across all study programmes which aim to promote equality.
- Raise awareness amongst the University’s staff and students of the principle of equality.
- Publicize activities concerning equality.
