1.3 Governance and recognition of EDI work All committees share a concern with EDI. Performing an integrative function, the Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Committee (EDIC) draws this work together, providing strategic direction, advice and support. SMG considers reports from EDIC and approves its priorities. The EDIC has 22 members (36.3% academic). It is chaired by the Pro-Dean (Faculty) and membership includes the Dean, COO, theme leads, representatives from HR, recruitment and marketing, and student engagement. EDIC owns a specific programme of work organised around six themes, each led by an academic and member of the PSS. Theme leads ’ work is guided and supported by a core EDI team, three of whom have EDI written into their contracts (1.6 FTE), an increase of 1.4FTE since 2017. The core team works to connect people, facilitate project work, and guide activity in line with the EDIC’s priorities. Progress is reviewed at twice termly catch ups and reported at EDIC.
