At our university, we firmly believe that gender parity and equity are foundational to building a diverse, equitable, and truly global academic community. As underscored in our report “Diversity and Inclusion: Towards Building a Diverse, Equitable, and Global University,” gender parity stands as one of the 16 key indicators of diversity and inclusion at JGU.
Our commitment to fostering gender equity extends across every dimension of university life; from admissions and recruitment to leadership and governance. We take pride in creating institutional spaces that celebrate diversity in all its forms and manifestations, while ensuring that women have equal opportunities to thrive, lead, and contribute meaningfully to our mission.
Over the years, our university has made significant progress in increasing the participation of women in faculty, staff, and leadership positions. Today, women constitute more than 46% of our student body and 49% of our faculty. Women also hold 40% of leadership positions within the faculty and 29% of non-teaching leadership roles. These achievements reflect our conscious and sustained efforts to attract and support women scholars, researchers, and professionals through proactive recruitment and inclusive policies led by our Admissions, Outreach, and Human Resources teams.
We remain deeply committed to further advancing women’s access and representation across all spheres of academic and institutional life, ensuring that JGU continues to serve as a model for inclusive excellence in higher education.
