Exeter College statement regarding Women’s Liberation at Fifty event

In May 2019, Exeter College, Oxford, agreed to provide the venue for the Women’s Liberation at Fifty conference, in enthusiastic celebration of all that the feminist movement stands for, and in recognition of the symbolic importance of the former Ruskin College site, which now houses Exeter College Cohen Quad. Exeter College has played no role at any stage in the taking of decisions about the programme or its speakers.

Exeter College is committed to the open and respectful discussion of ideas and to providing a supportive and inclusive environment in which the rights and dignity of all its staff and students are respected and valued, and in which people can work and study, without fear of discrimination or harassment.

The College has received a complaint regarding this event which will be reviewed in accordance with our complaints and appeals procedures, as set out on our website: https://www.exeter.ox.ac.uk/file/2017/06/complaints-and-appeals-procedures.pdf
