Joint statement on the Sewell report

31 March 2021

Responding to the final report of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparity, the UCU has supported a joint statement with NUS and sister unions which describes the findings as an 'insult' to those facing racism in Britain every day.

The statement, which was informed by UCU's Black Members' Standing Committee, refutes the report's assertion that Black communities do not face structural or institutional racism and points to a wide range of evidence of how systemic racism is manifested across the UK.
