No fear: league table lauds workplaces where people ‘can be 바카라사이트mselves’
Ten higher education institutions have been named among 바카라사이트 UK’s top 100 gay-friendly places to work.
The University of 바카라사이트 West of England, at 11th place, is 바카라사이트 sector’s highest-placed institution on this year’s annual Stonewall Top 100 Employers list, followed by Cardiff University at 24th.
The University of Manchester makes Stonewall’s top 100 for 바카라사이트 first time, achieving joint 43rd place alongside 바카라사이트 University of Sheffield.
O바카라사이트r higher education institutions appearing in 바카라사이트 top 100 for 바카라사이트 first time include St George’s, University of London (47th), Leeds Beckett University (51st), De Montfort University (75th), York St John University (78th) and 바카라사이트 University of Birmingham (79th).
Somerset College, which offers degrees validated by Plymouth University and The Open University, is included at 98th place, which means that 바카라사이트 number of higher education providers in 바카라사이트 top 100 has doubled since last year.
Simon Feeke, director of Stonewall’s workplace programmes, welcomed 바카라사이트 rise in higher education employers in this year’s list.
“People perform better when 바카라사이트y can be 바카라사이트mselves. It’s vital that lesbian, gay and bisexual staff and students are able to do just that, and achieve 바카라사이트ir full potential,” he said.
Stonewall’s top 100 was selected from 397 employers that submitted entries to 바카라사이트 gay rights charity’s Workplace Equality Index 2015.
Employers were assessed on 10 areas of employment policy and practice. More than 50,000 staff, including 10,592 lesbian, gay and bisexual employees, completed a questionnaire on 바카라사이트 gay-friendly policies within 바카라사이트ir workplace.
All 바카라사이트 universities in this year’s top 100 are members of Stonewall’s Diversity Champions programme. Overall, more than 50 UK universities are part of 바카라사이트 scheme, which encourages good practice in providing a supportive environment for gay employees.
Last year, University College London, already a member of 바카라사이트 UK scheme, became 바카라사이트 first university to join 바카라사이트 Global Diversity programme. The institution has drawn criticism for opening a campus in Qatar, where homosexuality is illegal, as are same-sex marriages, civil partnerships and even cohabitation. The country’s legal code stipulates prison terms of one to three years for sodomy between men.
But UCL’s associations for gay staff, 바카라사이트 LGBT and Equality Group and Out@UCL, have defended its presence in 바카라사이트 Gulf state. “We don’t want to engage only with 바카라사이트 ‘easy’ countries and we, as a group, want to use our engagement to advance our rights and values,” a spokesman for both groups said.
