The University has established a Sub-Committee on Women Academics, accountable to the Diversity and Inclusion Steering Committee, in January 2022 to support women academics and groom future leaders by empowering female faculty and promoting a supportive workplace for their professional and personal development. This Sub-Committee continues the endeavors achieved by the Task Force on Women and Family-friendly Policies which was set up in May 2014 with an aim to promote a working environment that is responsive to the needs of women and colleagues with family responsibilities. In view of its initiatives and accomplishments, the temporary Task Force has achieved its mission by launching essential platforms to promote and raise awareness on gender sensitivity and a family-friendly workplace over the years and come to dissolution by end of 2021.
