University of Glasgow to bring in respect advisers as half of its ethnic minority students report racial harassment

University of Glasgow to bring in respect advisers as half of its ethnic minority students report racial harassment THE University of Glasgow is to bring in new respect advisers after issuing an apology over racism. Its own survey found that half of all ethnic minority students reported being harassed between two and five times since beginning studies. Their report found the survey results contrasted to the handful of racial harassment cases captured by university processes. The analysis found there was a reluctance to report such harassment because of a lack of confidence that such incidents would be treated seriously combined with a fear of reprisals from fellow students and staff.
Former rector Aamer Anwar blasted university bosses following the publication of the report THE University of Glasgow has been labelled institutionally racist by a former rector. Human rights lawyer Aamer Anwar believes the West End hub has ignored the concerns of students and failed to tackle discrimination on campus. Mr Anwar s accusations come after a report found half of ethnic minority learners had been racially harassed and staff from BAME backgrounds had suffered coded forms of abuse. Mr Anwar, who served as rector - one of the most senior posts at the university - between 2017 and 2020, said: This report is a damning indictment of the failures of senior management to tackle racism to date.
