Purpose: To achieve equity outcomes for members of the Ashesi community

Ashesi University strives to provide a safe, inclusive and equitable study and work environment. Ashesi fosters fairness and respect for diverse groups of people. All members of Ashesi are to support equitable access, participation, engagement and success for all faculty, staff and students, of various backgrounds. Ashesi opposes discrimination and insists on equity, including discrimination on the basis of gender, marital status, religious belief, ethical belief, colour, race, ethnic or national origins, disability, age, political opinion, employment status, and family status.

Ashesi provides faculty, staff and students annual training in diversity and inclusion. And the university provides resources as part of its plan to monitor fairness and report progress towards equity goals. As a place of work, the university has in place a system of identified key performance indicators which are equitable and robust with measurable outcomes, to ensure fairness in merit-based decisions. The University will comply with all Tertiary Education equity reporting requirements and will comply with all applicable legislation in its pursuit of equity outcomes.

Ashesi is also committed to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
