Equitable outcomes for all

Kaitiakitanga—as guardians, we have an active duty to protect and nurture those entrusted to our care.

As a global–civic university, we are critically engaged with diverse perspectives and world views, actively providing opportunities to broaden people’s experiences. We are a community of students and staff who contribute to an inclusive, robust, environmentally sustainable, and equitable society.

We respect difference and treat all fairly and with respect.

We consciously build our university community in a manner reflecting the diversity of Aotearoa New Zealand’s population and we are proud to have staff and students with a diverse, broad range of experience, knowledge, and backgrounds from here and overseas.

We take responsibility for ensuring equitable outcomes for all by creating inclusive learning environments and development opportunities for students and staff alike.

Our inclusive approach to the design of our learning and research environments also means we tailor support to individual and cohort needs. We work hard to ensure that our students attain their educational aspirations and that they are well prepared to engage in civic futures of local and global influence.
