UCU: Building anti-racist colleges

Motion

Motion text: FESC notes:
1. The rise of Reform UK and the growth of far right on our streets led by
Tommy Robinson
2. The attacks by Trump and his Presidency on equality.
3. Many staff and students are impacted or influenced by these ideas.
4. The lack of equality in our workplaces
FESC believes
a. Our colleges should be places that celebrate multiculturalism, diversity and
all the progressive gains that have been worn.
b. As educators we must engage with our students about these issues
c. Our employers should reflect these ideas in their policies and procedures, not
tokenistic gestures.
FESC resolves
i. To call on branches to carry out a student and teacher led Themed Learning
Week on celebrating multiculturalism and diversity.
ii. To create and share resources for branches to support equality education for
our students
iii. To update UCU resources on tackling racism in the workplace
