AECC University College and AECC Students’ Union (ASU) are committed to achieving a diverse and inclusive culture which offers equality and opportunity for all by eliminating unlawful discrimination, bullying, harassment, or victimisation, advancing equality of opportunity and promoting respectful relations in all circumstances.
We are committed to achieving an environment in which all members of the University College are treated fairly and equally, with dignity and respect, so that everyone has the opportunity to realise their full potential; and all decisions are based on merit. All interactions will be grounded upon mutual respect, open communication, and, for personal relationships, on clear consent. Bullying, harassment, sexual misconduct, discrimination or victimisation will not be tolerated. This includes offensive banter.
All members of the University College have a responsibility to take an active role in upholding this collective commitment in our work/study practices and personal interactions.
As part of our collective responsibilities, we encourage the reporting of incidents. We will consider the academic, welfare and support needs of those affected by an alleged incident, and will fulfil our duty of care to all involved parties.
Conduct, by any member of the AECC University College community, which is found to fall short of this expectation will not be tolerated and will be subject to disciplinary processes.
