Staff will, of course, have the option of refusing to answer and no inferences will be drawn from that response. I just wondered if other institutions which have already undertaken this process would let us know how it was received in their institution - I am interested in both positive and negative responses please. regards, Deb Deb Viney, Diversity Advisor, Deputy Secretary's Office, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London Tel: 020 7074 5007 Fax: 020 7074 5019 Email: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Visiting Address: Postal Address: Vernon Square Thornhaugh Street 1 Penton Rise Russell Square LONDON LONDON WC1X 9EW WC1H 0XG Angie Angie Cousins HR Manager, Equality & Diversity University of Surrey Guildford, Surrey, GU2 7XH, UK Tel: +44 (0)1483 689189 [log in to unmask] http://portal.surrey.ac.uk/humanresources <file:///exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://portal.surrey.ac.uk/humanresources>
