Inclusive Sussex Strategy

Find out how we plan to transform our campus and the experiences of all our staff and students in our Inclusive Sussex Strategy (2018-2025).



Our goals

To deliver an Inclusive Sussex we aim to deliver the five goals below. We believe that what is necessary for some is generally good for all. In delivering change to address inequalities for particular parts of our communities, we will strive to deliver solutions that deliver benefits to all of us.


Our measures of success

We will measure our progress towards becoming Inclusive Sussex in a number of ways (listed below).

Â鶹´«Ã½ KPIs

  • To halve the gender pay gap by 2024.

  • Year-on-year improvement in staff who believe that the Â鶹´«Ã½ is committed to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion ().

Other university measures

  • Higher representation of staff with protected characteristics that are currently underrepresented, including in senior leadership positions.

  • Continued reduction in student awarding gaps between those with different identities to be significantly better than national averages.
