3 Institutional Discrimination  The collective failure of an organisation to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their colour, culture, ethnic origin, gender, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion.  It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviour which amount to discrimination through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and stereotyping which disadvantages people from equality target groups.

4 Why do Equality Impact Assessments? Positive Legal Duties (Race, Disability & Gender) The University must have due regard to the need to:  Eliminate unlawful discrimination & harassment  Promote equality of opportunity  Promote good relations between persons of different groups & positive attitudes towards disabled people  Involve disabled people in policy making

16 Are decisions affecting a person’s programme of study or career based solely on objective criteria relating to achievement and/or potential?  If yes, how do you ensure this?  If no, how do you justify these decisions?
