Reducing inequalities and ensuring no one is left behind are integral to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Inequality within and among countries is a persistent cause for concern. NUMS aims to reaffirm its commitment to build an all-inclusive and diverse community in which all staff and students are free to pursue excellence and satisfaction in their academic and occupational endeavors.
To this end, NUMS undertakes to promote all the fundamental rights and freedom of every person on campus, as protected by the Constitution and the Clause 5 (1) of NUMS Act, shielding all persons from direct and indirect discrimination by taking appropriate action against those who unfairly discriminate. It applies to all admissions, employments, trainings, promotions, fringe benefits and other related personnel functions. Also, it applies to all of NUMS workplaces, including any location that employees may be considered to be carrying out work on behalf of NUMS in the course of their employment.
NUMS has also adopted the Higher Education Commission (HEC) Policy for Students with Students with Disabilities (2019) wherein all the aspects like admissions, services to the students, assessment of needs, teaching & learnings, examinations and assessments, accommodation, grievances or any targeted support like scholarships, mentoring etc are well-considered.
