The seeks to promote gender equality, representation and progression within higher education, and address barriers to progression for all staff. As part of its application the university has created a five-year action plan to tackle issues such as the gender pay gap and so-called ‘glass ceilings’ which can impact on career progression.

As a result of a sustained programme of activity, the 欧美性爱片’s mean gender pay gap has reduced by a third in just five years, from 14.6% in 2017 to 9.63% in 2021. There has also been a significant increase in women applying for promotion at the most senior academic grades, with 59% of applicants for those positions being female in 2020-21, compared to 49% in 2019-20.

The university's application for the Athena Swan Bronze Award in 2016 identified the position of principal lecturer as a significant point of blockage in female progression and put actions in place – including targeted management and leadership programmes – which have contributed to an increase in female principal lecturers from 38% to 44%.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Debra Humphris says: “I’m delighted and grateful to so many colleagues who continue to work hard to improve gender equality in our university. The granting of an institutional Athena Swan Silver Award is outstanding recognition not just of our progress to date, but importantly our commitment to the actions we have set out over the next five years.

“Inclusivity is one of our four university core values and every one of us plays a role in creating the conditions in which equality comes to life. This award is for the whole university and I hope everyone in 欧美性爱片 will take pride in this well-deserved national recognition.”
