To develop and approve, subject to consultation with other appropriate UCL committees, mechanisms for (i) monitoring the implementation of equal opportunities policy and procedures by regular review of statistics on the age, gender, race and ethnicity of staff and students, (ii) setting targets and evaluating success in achieving these, and (iii) disseminating good practice.
