UK universities are institutionally racist and must do more to support students of colour, a leading vice-chancellor has said.
Prof David Richardson, chair of Universities UK’s advisory group on stamping out racial harassment on campuses and vice-chancellor of University of East Anglia, said there was evidence of systemic issues that disproportionally affect students from black and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds.
Speaking on BBC Three’s documentary Is Uni Racist?, he said: “There’s mixed experiences, but many aren’t good. There is a lot of evidence that points towards universities perpetuating systemic racism, being institutionally racist and I have acknowledged that on behalf of the sector.
In a new BBC documentary Is Uni Racist?, University of Manchester student, Zac Adan has spoken about the “racial profiling” incident he faced at UoM last November.
Zac was on his way back to his room in Fallowfield campus when he was stopped, pinned against a wall, and “racially profiled” by uni security.
Zac says the incident made him feel “the university’s reputation was way more important than the welfare and wellbeing of students”.
The documentary’s presenter, reporter Linda Adey, says she “first started looking into racism at Britain’s unis” after she saw the incident at Manchester last year.
UNIVERSITIES in Britain are institutionally racist and must offer more support to students of colour who do not feel that their complaints are properly addressed, a vice-chancellor has claimed.
“There’s mixed experiences, but many aren’t good,” Professor David Richardson of the University of East Anglia told BBC3 documentary Is Uni Racist?
“There is a lot of evidence that points towards universities perpetuating systemic racism, being institutionally racist, and I have acknowledged that on behalf of the sector.”
The documentary focuses on how complaints of racist abuse have been handled by universities, looking at the stories of four students.
