Hello colleagues - as some of you know, Coventry University is now
working on a follow-on resource pack from "Meeting the Challenge", this
time focusing on the relationship between staff and students and in
particular, aiming to support staff in working more effectively with
student diversity. As background, we have already undertaken research
with our own staff and students as well as liaised with Skill, the
National Union of Students and the ECU. However, what would be really
helpful would be to have some up-to-date examples of good practice in
HEIs. Many of you very kindly contributed such examples to the Equality
and Diversity database we developed last year but many related to
staff-based initiatives such as workplace nurseries, flexible working
and so on.
So, if your HEI has developed particular strategies to support, say,
women students in Science, Engineering and Technology, international
students, mature students, disabled students or any other group of
students, it would be great to hear from you.
Thanks in advance and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes
Karen Ross
Project Leader
