WOMEN
ANU continues to strive to advance equal employment opportunity
for women. The commitment to equality of opportunity is an expression
of the abiding value the university places upon meeting the needs
of ANU’s people and nurturing the talents of all staff and
students – one of the key values underpinning the university’s
belief that excellence comes from putting people first and expressed
in the planning directions within ‘ANU by 2010’.
