About the Board
Equity Home
So, what is the Equity and Diversity Board?
The Equity and Diversity Board is a committee of students and Equity Representatives working together to advise the Student Guild on issues of Equity, Diversity and Sustainability. Additionally, we also work towards promoting events and issues that relate to supporting an equitable and diverse culture at ECU, and seeking change in the University where necessary.
This year we plan to see a lot of change in the University, working ultimately towards once again having a University that Edith Cowan, an active feminist and activist, would have been proud of.
Who are we?
The Equity and Diversity Board includes students from a diverse range of backgrounds, inclusive of, but not exclusively limited to:
- Students from Low Socio-Economic Status (LSES) backgrounds
- Students with a Disability
