About Jesus College/Our community/
Equality and Diversity

Equality and diversity are at the heart of Jesus College's ethos and academic mission.

We welcome diversity among our applicants, students, staff, and visitors, recognising the contributions to the achievement of the College’s objectives which can be made by individuals from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences.

We aim to provide an inclusive environment which promotes equality, values diversity and in which the rights and dignity of all our students and staff are respected. The College works to remove any barriers which might deter anyone of the highest potential and ability from applying to the College, either as a student or staff member.

This section gives you more information on our E&D news and events, governance and policies, and further resources.

In June 2020, we hosted an online discussion called Forum on Race and Education as part of a new series devised by members of our community called What Really Matters. Bringing together eminent speakers from a range of backgrounds, the discussion covered the role of education in bringing about societal change in the UK; anti-racism in the context of white privilege, and what needs to happen now to bring about racial equality? The black experience participants gave moving personal testimonies of their journeys, and the online audience were able to ask questions.
