Southampton Solent University aims to foster a community with a culture of mutual trust, fairness, harmony and respect. The University implements policies to promote fair treatment and equality of opportunity for all present and potential students and staff, regardless of age, disability, ethnic or national origin, family responsibility or social class, gender identity, membership of professional associations or trade unions, marital/civil partnership status, political or religious beliefs, race, sex and sexual orientation.
Our Six Pillars of Equality and Wellbeing outline our clear statement of commitment towards equality, diversity and inclusion, as well as wellbeing, and provide a plan which brings together our work in this area.
Equality in employment
The University’s policy is to continue working towards an environment free from discrimination and intolerance in all forms and one in which everyone is treated with dignity and respect.
Gender pay gap review
Solent University are committed to continuing to work on closing the gender pay gap and are putting steps in place to do so.
Pay statement
The University's pay statement outlines the pay system and pay arrangements for staff, their governance and the proportional relationship between the highest earner - the Vice-Chancellor - and the lowest point in use in our pay structure.
Equality in the student body
Solent University is an inclusive university with a rich and diverse student and staff community. We foster a culture which encourages all students to freely express their identity in a respectful and non-judgemental environment.

IHRA definition of antisemitism
Solent University is committed to remaining a fair, diverse and inclusive university that challenges and tackles inequality in all its forms. To support us in our work, we have adopted the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA) definition of antisemitism as a guide to interpreting and understanding antisemitism.
