July marked the start of a 12-month countdown to the University of Manchester’s next Race Equality Charter (REC) submission. The REC provides a framework for engagement, critical self-assessment, transparency and action planning to address longstanding inequalities experienced by people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds in higher education. The process facilitates identification of good practice and areas where more concerted effort and positive action is required and challenges us as an organisation to ask ourselves hard questions.
