Inclusive student life
The University of Oxford is a place where every student should be safe, welcomed and be able to thrive, whatever their background. We are committed to ensuring our University community is one in which the rights and dignity of all our students and staff are respected.

Freedom of speech is the life-blood of our University and we uphold the right for everyone to openly express their views and opinions with respect and courtesy, within the limits of the law.
This is accompanied by our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion. Discrimination of any kind – whether based on race, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, or any other characteristic– has no place, and is not tolerated, at Oxford.
The University supports the right to lawful protest, but actions which disrupt aspects of staff or student life for fellow members of the University, in breach of our codes of conduct, are not acceptable.
