Subject: Race in the press
Hi all,
I thought you might be interested in a few press pieces on race in the academy:
ECU's Chris Hall has responded to the Prime Minister's recent announcement about racism in admissions: http://wonkhe.com/
As has one of our patrons, Dr Nicola Rollock: http://www.download.bham.ac.uk/onlinecomms/ecards/bham-brief-responsive/12093-bham-brief-ecard-responsive-04-Feb-2016-AW.html
And research published by UCU in anticipation of their day of action on race in higher education on 10th February: http://www.theguardian.com/higher-education-network/2016/feb/04/racism-in-universities-there-is-a-sense-your-face-doesnt-fit?CMP=share_btn_tw
And a discussion piece by Dr Kalwant Bhopal on whether the Race Equality Charter (REC) will make a difference: https://www.timeshighereducation.com/blog/will-race-equality-charter-make-uk-academy-more-diverse
If you do want to read more about REC then have a look on our website<http://www.ecu.ac.uk/equality-charters/race-equality-charter/>. In particular, have a look at the guiding principles<http://www.ecu.ac.uk/equality-charters/race-equality-charter/about-race-equality-charter/>, and consider whether your institution wants to formally commit to them, in advance of planning an application.
If you need any more information, you can email me or the team at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> and follow us on twitter @ECURaceCharter.
