Abstract

Progress towards racial equity in UK higher education is notoriously slow. Black and Asian students are less likely to be admitted to prestigious institutions and less likely to graduate with a First or Upper Second-class degree. Black academics are under-represented across the sector, particularly among professors. Without structural change, we will never see progress towards genuine racial equity. This paper considers the current sector landscape around racial equity, focussing particularly on structural mechanisms that drive decision making by senior institutional leaders, as it is only through strategic institutional actions that impact will be made at scale. I particularly focus on the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) as the highest profile component of the English regulatory landscape.
