Promoting diversity in committee representation

Council is committed to achieving greater diversity of representation in governance. Information about what the elections are, the benefits of standing for election, and the need to improve diversity of representation and ensure inclusivity, can be found at: https://governance.admin.ox.ac.uk/elections 

The list of this term's vacancies to share is available at: https://governance.admin.ox.ac.uk/current-elections

There are currently over 40 vacancies advertised, from positions on Council and the Visitors of the Ashmolean to a number of divisional and faculty boards. If people are ineligible for these roles, but interested in getting involved in the University’s governance at a divisional and departmental level - especially if they have an interest in the remit of a particular committee - the advice is to let Prof Sam Howison, or their Head of Department know. Alternatively, look at the list of University committees and contact committee secretaries directly, to ask about current and forthcoming opportunities.
