Race Equality Charter (REC)
The REC helps institutions improve the representation, progression and success of minority ethnic staff and students in higher education.
The University signed up to Advance HE’s Race Equality Charter (REC) in February 2021, with the explicit goal of eliminating any racial disparities for staff and students and achieving race equity on campus. The REC provides a framework to help the university reflect on institutional and cultural barriers standing in the way of minority ethnic staff and students. The University applied for the REC Bronze Award in November 2023 and successfully gained the award in February 2024.
