In recognition of our efforts to promote race equality at BU, we were granted a Race Equality Charter (REC) bronze award in August 2023.
The Race Equality Charter helps universities to identify and address institutional and cultural barriers facing their Black, Asian and minority ethnic students and staff. It provides a framework for this process of reflection and facilitates the development of initiatives and solutions for tackling issues such as gaps around degree attainment and student employability, as well as staff recruitment and progression.
You can find more information about the Race Equality Charter on the Advance HE website.
We’re committed to progressing with our extensive action plans, which formed part of the REC submission. These will continue to represent all aspects of BU life, such as student recruitment, curriculum review, graduate outcomes and staff development.
