Equal opportunity

It is the policy of UTS to provide equal opportunity for all persons and to prevent discrimination and harassment on the basis of race, colour, descent, national or ethnic origin, ethno-religious background, sex, marital status, pregnancy, potential pregnancy, family responsibilities, disability (physical, intellectual, psychiatric, sensory, neurological, or learning disabilities, and illnesses such as HIV/AIDS), age, homosexuality, transgender status, political conviction, and religious belief.

The Equal Opportunity and Diversity policy describes responsibilities for all members of the UTS community and sets out consequences of any breach of the policy.

Free speech

UTS supports the right to freedom of speech and the rights of its members to contribute to the diversity of views presented in our society.

The policy on the Expression and Practice of Religious, Political and Other Values, Beliefs and Ideas at UTS defines the rights and responsibilities of members of the UTS community in relation to the provisions and parameters that support freedom of speech.

Non-discriminatory language

UTS has adopted the use of non-discriminatory language as a key strategy in providing equal opportunity for all staff and students. Guidelines for the use of non-discriminatory language have been developed and all members of the University community are encouraged to use them.
