- To promote, disseminate, develop and monitor implementation of EEO and EEdO policies and best practices in accordance with the University of Auckland’s and Faculty of Education’s responsibilities and statutory obligations in these areas and under the Treaty of Waitangi.
- To monitor and evaluate EEO and EEdO performance and procedures across the Faculty and advise the Dean on EEO and EEdO compliance and resources needs.
- To nominate EO representatives to sit on Faculty Committees as required.
