Racial harassment in higher education: our inquiry

Our action

Our inquiry looked at the nature of racial harassment in publicly funded universities in England, Scotland and Wales.

What this covered

We launched our inquiry into racial harassment in publicly funded universities in Britain to examine staff and students’ experiences of racial harassment and the effect they might have on their education, career and wellbeing.

We also wanted to look at the extent to which universities have in place available, accessible and effective routes to redress for their staff and students if they experience racial harassment.

What you told us

This university was more bothered about covering the incident up to maintain a 'spotless' reputation, than it was about tackling racism, sexism, or homophobia.
