OUR PEOPLE AND CULTURE


The Middlesex family is global and inclusive. Our diverse student and staff community is our strength, and we strive and are successful in creating a healthy workplace where all feel they belong.


Over the past year as part of the process for developing our new Strategy, we revisited and revised our values to agree a set of community principles. These guide how our whole community works, learns and behaves.


LEADING IN EQUALITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION


Middlesex is diverse and truly international. More than 44,000 students study with us globally and our London campus hosts 1,752 staff members of over 75 different nationalities. As our community principles show (see page 21), we act with care and integrity, and we are collaborative and action orientated. We aim to be radically simple, radically creative, and leading in equality, diversity and inclusion.


We are proud of our achievements and commitments to equality, diversity and inclusion for all staff and students, and of our Times Higher Education (THE) Impact Rankings in these areas (12th


for gender equality and 36th


inequalities). However, as local and global events over the last year have shown us, there is still more to do across the full range of diversity arenas, including race, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and age amongst others.


While we strive to recruit staff from all backgrounds, we know we are on a journey and recognise the need to increase representation from black, Asian and minority

ethnic (BAME) communities among our staff at all levels. Over 2020/21, Middlesex has also been working to the Principles and Standards of Advance HE’s Race Equality Charter (REC) to improve the representation, progression and success of BAME staff and students. The charter provides a framework through which institutions can reflect on obstacles standing in the way of BAME staff and students and develop initiatives and solutions. First, we aim to achieve the Bronze Institution Award, which will demonstrate the University has a solid foundation for eliminating race bias and developing an even more inclusive culture. Middlesex will apply for the award in 2021/22; our REC Self-Assessment Team are providing support and challenge to University Leadership, including the University Executive Team and Governors, to progress race equality and will oversee the award submission process.


This year, we also signed up to Business in the Community’s Race at Work Charter, which is designed to improve outcomes for black, Asian and minority ethnic employees in the UK. This shows we are committed to tackling barriers that ethnic
