Munster Technological University (MTU) is committed to promoting equality and diversity throughout our University community. MTU welcomes diversity and is committed to inclusiveness, valuing the perspectives and contributions of all members of our community.

In keeping with the University’s person-centred focus, MTU is committed to advancing equality, equality of opportunity and gender equality, and to providing the highest quality academic and working environment where there is mutual respect and dignity, and all are treated in a fair manner that is free from discrimination, harassment, and victimisation.

Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty

As a public body, MTU is guided by Section 42 of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014, which includes a responsibility to:

Eliminate discrimination,
Promote equality of opportunity and treatment for staff, students, and stakeholders, and
Protect human rights across all its operations.

The Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty Report 2025 aligns with the MTU Strategic Plan (2022–2027), which emphasises EDI and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as strategic enablers for institutional progress.

Inclusive Campus Culture

To contribute to creating a safe, inclusive campus culture, we encourage students to Speak Out to anonymously disclose incidents of bullying, cyberbullying, harassment, discrimination, hate crime, coercive behaviour/control, stalking, assault, sexual harassment, sexual assault, and rape.

The Speak Out tool will help you to find relevant supports and highlight formal reporting procedures, should you wish to use them.
