Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
In 2021, the Council of Australian University Librarians (CAUL) identified equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) as a strategic priority. The Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Survey Project was established as a first step in prioritising EDI. The intention was to fill a gap in the evidence base related to the diversity profile and state of EDI initiatives across the sector in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand (referred to as Aotearoa throughout this report) so that future activities could be grounded in an empirical understanding of the current state of the sector. The project had three objectives, which were to:
- provide an understanding of the staffing profile of the university library sector
- develop an understanding of the current state of EDI work across the sector
- explore perceptions of CAUL member institution staff related to EDI.
Two surveys were undertaken in early 2023. The report and data tables from the surveys are provided below.
