Coordination of Equity and Social Justice University-wide

The Division of Academic Affairs aims to be a leader in the implementation of quality inclusive education practices and will support its learning community through:

• provision of current information and education on legislation, public policy and state and national developments in equal opportunity and social justice;
• promotion and recognition of implementation of equal opportunity and social justice initiatives and provision of constructive advice where progress is slow;
• recognition of individual staff contributions, knowledge, skills and achievements and developmental needs.

To this end, the Equal Opportunity and Social Justice initiative assists the University in the development and implementation of relevant strategic activities some of which are provided in the University's Equity Plan.

The Equal Opportunity and Social Justice area is coordinating and promoting relevant social justice initiatives, programs, strategies and related activities in the academic areas. Each academic area will be required to demonstrate its contribution towards the development of key strategies to ensure that social justice initiatives continue to be efficiently coordinated and fully integrated into academic business. The coordination would assist in ensuring that Murdoch's strategic management of equal opportunity and social justice goes beyond the establishment of strategic and operational plans.
