“We all recognise that there is work to be done to improve diversity at the top of our academic institutions. We are fortunate to have immense talent among our staff, and among our students and graduates – the future academic leaders. I look forward to working with all of our institutions on a range of measures to enhance diversity, in every aspect, among our leadership, our emerging leadership and, importantly, among our student body. Higher education is a conduit to so many paths in life, and we want to ensure that this experience is possible for students from every type of background who aspire to it.
