The Equality Act 2006 amended the Sex Discrimination Act (1975), introducing the Gender Equality Duty, requiring higher education institutions to produce a Gender Equality Scheme. On this web page you will find a link to the University of York's most recent Scheme, (2010-13) including a progress report and Action Plan, and a link to the previous Scheme (2007-10) and progress report and Action Plan (2008)
The University is currently reviewing the Gender Equality Scheme in the light of the new legislation, the Equality Act 2010.
