Abstract
This paper explores diversity management in university settings by focusing on key issues namely cultural awareness; agency and identity and their impact on university policies and supervisory practices. These issues are investigated against the legal and policy framework in a regional Australian university. This university is a leading provider of distance and online education. Focusing more specifically on the doctoral candidate – supervisor relationship, this paper presents examples of university policies and practices aimed at managing diversity within the supervisory relationship. The university has a significant proportion of distance or external students in its doctoral programs, especially in two faculties. Based on these practices and ideas from research in this area, recommendations for best practices for the management of cultural diversity within the supervisory relationship in the context of universities are presented.
