Racism in UK universities is blocking BAME academics from the top

Perhaps one of the most harmful myths about British universities is that they are meritocratic and free from racism. Senior managers can no longer hide behind this false, “post-racial” narrative, which disingenuously implies that racism no longer exists.

Perhaps the strongest evidence to challenge this empty rhetoric is the gross underrepresentation of black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) academics in senior positions.
