- Motion text
Congress notes with great concern that many HE/FE institutions have relegated the Equality Agenda to a set of online policies that do not demonstrate a proactive approach to good race equality relations. These institutions have failed to conduct an equality impact assessment of policies and procedures Рthat have had and continue to have a disproportionately adverse impact on Black members – and continue to act in breach of the RRAA 2000, right under the noses of Trade Unions, HEFCE and the CEHR.
Congress calls for:
formal challenge of HE/FE institutions to conduct a full equality impact assessment of their policies and procedures as required and publish the results
UCU should name-shame institutions that fulfil/do not this particular statutory duty
institutions to recognise institutional racism and set targets for eliminating inequality in recruitment, restructuring, redundancies, unemployment, and career development on a regular basis
