Pro Vice-Chancellor Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
This is an exciting time for Loughborough University. With a new Chair of Council, Christine Hodgson CBE, a new Vice-Chancellor, Professor Nick Jennings CB FREng, and a new University Strategy to be launched in 2022, this presents the successful candidate with a unique and exciting opportunity to help shape a top-10 University at the start of the next phase of its development.
The role of the new Pro Vice-Chancellor Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) will be to work with the Vice-Chancellor, the senior leadership teams and across the whole institution as we move forward to the next stage of the University’s development.
It is never easy to make change. Delivering our ambitions for EDI will be no exception. Our range of staff networks have worked extremely hard on making change at Loughborough for many years, but we are no longer in a place where it is about a small group of people. It is now our collective responsibility to make sure this change happens.
Our end point is to create an inclusive Loughborough; that is, a university that isn’t simply a passive observer. When inequalities occur, we are not passive, we take action. We need to be a University that can catalyse change beyond our boundaries, through our students, our research, and our community engagement.
It’s a long journey. It involves open, honest conversations. It involves dismantling unfair structures and processes wherever we find them. It involves challenging inappropriate behaviour.
This is a genuine opportunity for us to change the University for the better, influence the sector, and to make a national statement on what a truly inclusive organisation can achieve.
