Thank you for your message, below, in relation to the naming of the Dame Jenni Murray Lecture Theatre.
Over the last two weeks much feedback has been received - from staff, students, alumni and members of the community – on this issue. We have reviewed and listened to all the comments received and this has helped to inform our final decision on the naming of the lecture theatre and our approach to inclusivity in general.
The University of Hull has decided to retain Dame Jenni’s name for the lecture theatre. The original rationale remains strong and for many Dame Jenni is a role model and an inspiration.
As a University striving to accelerate our equality, diversity and inclusion agenda, we are committed to using this situation as a point of learning and will continue in constructive dialogue with the trans community on campus to ensure that we continue to develop an environment to foster learning, collaboration and action in supporting a more inclusive and supportive environment for all.
Best wishes for the Festive Season,
Susan
