How well do you think your university addresses racism? How well represented are BAME staff in your department?

Goldsmiths students who belong to Goldsmiths Anti-Racist Action have occupied a university building in protest against the racism black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) students have experienced.

The students are demanding an institution-wide strategy to tackle racism after a candidate in the student elections complained she had been subjected to racist abuse.

We’d like to find out from students and staff in the UK about their experience of and concerns about racism at their university. How well do you think your university addresses racism, including institutional racism? How robust are the policies and procedures to deal with complaints of racism? How difficult have you found it to speak out about racism on campus, whether by students or staff?

Do you have concerns about the impact of racism on the attainment of BAME students and the BAME student drop out rate? How well represented are BAME staff in your department and university, particularly at senior level?
