> Subject: LTSN-GEES: Religious / Cultural Diversity Survey
>
> Dear Colleagues,
>
> LTSN-GEES is working on a project with other subject centres to explore
> the implications of cultural and religious issues in higher education, in
> particular for the curriculum (for example, teaching style, content,
> assessment and student support).
>
> The project was set up in response to interest from the academic community
> as they find themselves working with an increasingly diverse student
> population. Also new legislation has recently been introduced which has
> given rise to concerns, and some uncertainty, about implications for the
> curriculum. For example, the Employment Equality (Religion or Belief)
> Regulations 2003, introduced in response to the Employment Directive,
> outlaws discrimination on grounds of religion or belief in employment and
> vocational training. This will have implications for students engaged in
> work-based learning. For further information about this legislation, we
> suggest that you visit <http://www.acas.org.uk> .
>
> The project is now undertaking a survey amongst academics/support staff
> and we invite you to tell us about your experiences, and any adjustments
> you have made arising from those situations, which relate to the cultural
> or religious needs of students or staff. We would also like your views on
> how we can best support academics to accommodate diversity in today's
> student population.
>
> Please complete the brief on-line questionnaire, hosted by LTSN-PRS, at:
> http://www.prs-ltsn.ac.uk/diversity/questionnaire.html .
>
> Alternatively you may print and complete the questionnaire as a pdf file
> from:
> http://www.prs-ltsn.ac.uk/diversity/survey.pdf or as an rtf file from:
> http://www.prs-ltsn.ac.uk/diversity/survey.rtf
>
> Responses to the questionnaire will help us to provide the sort of
> resources that will help the HE sector to respond to their students needs
> in these area.
>
> We look forward to hearing from you.
> Best wishes,
> Helen
