Undergraduate Admissions and Equity Taskforce

The Undergraduate Admissions and Equity Taskforce was established by the University Council on the recommendation of Senate in December 2007 to consider and report by March 2008 on the equity implications of extending limited entry to all undergraduate qualifications.

A working group of Equal Opportunities Committee members was established to implement Recommendation 21: That the Equal Opportunities Committee (now the Equity Committee) be asked to recommend a set of consistent policies and practices, to be used in University targeted admission schemes.

The report of this group was published on 31 March, 2008.

Women Returning to Work Project

The needs analysis underlying the Women Returning to Work Project, a joint initiative between the Association of University Staff (AUS), Human Resources (HR) and Equity Office, was completed in 2007.

The implementation phase is under way and includes ongoing compilation of a database of women and men who are returning to work from parental leave. These staff are also invited to quarterly networking meetings for updates on policy and legislative changes.

Mini-refrigerators have been purchased and are being lent to breast feeding mothers.

An information package was developed in consultation with Communications and Marketing.

A legal opinion is being sought of the feasibility of deducting early childhood education fees before tax.

Research-related initiatives are being pursued.

Māori and Pacific Recruitment Strategy

A Māori and Pacific student recruitment strategy is being developed in an inclusive manner. This strategy will support the achievement of enrolment targets identified in the Equity Taskforce Report and take a case management approach to target groups.
