Suan Dusit University (SDU) recognizes the importance of equality, equity, and non-discrimination across all aspects of its operations—including human resource management, academic administration, and public services. The university upholds the principles of Human Rights and Sustainable Development in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities.
The university has established clear institutional policies and regulations to foster a transparent, fair, and discrimination-free working and learning environment. These policies serve as a foundation for cultivating an organizational culture of respect, fairness, and accountability that extends throughout the institution.
Framework of the Anti-Discrimination Policy
Suan Dusit University implements a comprehensive anti-discrimination framework under the Suan Dusit University Regulation on Personnel Administration, B.E. 2564 (2021), Chapter 8: “Discipline and Maintenance of Discipline.” This regulation sets out explicit ethical and behavioral standards for all university personnel. Clause 55 (1) stipulates that:
“Personnel shall not exercise, or allow others to exercise, their official authority—directly or indirectly—for personal gain or the benefit of others, and shall refrain from any actions that may compromise impartiality or undermine the dignity and integrity of their duties.”
This provision serves as a key mechanism in promoting a professional environment grounded in equality, transparency, and mutual respect across all institutional levels.

Code of Ethics for University Personnel
In addition to its personnel regulations, SDU enforces the Suan Dusit University Code of Ethics for University Personnel, B.E. 2560 (2017), which outlines professional ethical standards that promote respect for diversity, inclusion, and human dignity. Clause 8 specifies that university personnel shall:
“Provide care and support for colleagues in their work, welfare, and morale, while listening to their opinions and fostering collaboration based on principles of good governance and reason.”
This policy reflects SDU’s steadfast commitment to the principle of Zero Discrimination and its dedication to promoting diversity, inclusion, and mutual understanding within the university community.

The anti-discrimination policy has been operationalized through concrete organizational measures and initiatives, including:
– Orientation and ethics training programs for newly appointed personnel.
– Awareness campaigns promoting equality, inclusion, and non-discriminatory workplace practices.
– Establishment of secure, transparent, and fair grievance and complaint channels for both students and staff.
Furthermore, SDU publicly disseminates its anti-discrimination policy and related regulations through the university’s website and digital platforms, ensuring transparency and accessibility. This open approach positions SDU as a role model for other higher education institutions in advancing equity, diversity, and human rights.
Both the Personnel Administration Regulation (2021) and the Code of Ethics (2017) remain in force and have been reviewed between 2021–2024 to ensure relevance to current social and institutional contexts. The review process strengthens the university’s capacity to adapt to evolving standards of equality and inclusive governance within higher education.
Suan Dusit University’s anti-discrimination policy represents a vital institutional mechanism reflecting its unwavering commitment to equality, human dignity, and social justice. The policy not only governs internal university operations but also serves as a driver for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities.
Through continuous implementation and improvement, SDU affirms its role as a “University for Equality and Sustainability,” fostering a fair, inclusive, and respectful academic environment for all members of its community.
