Race Equality
Below are some useful links to groups both within the University and in the wider community.
Hello, I'm Professor Stephen Ward, and the University's Diversity Champion for Race Equality. I would be interested to hear about events and information that could be promoted and presented on this webpage, as well as any issues that I could take to the Equality and Diversity Steering Group. You can email me at s.ward@bathspa.ac.uk or phone me on 01225 875549.
BSU is actively looking to set up a Race Equality Network Group. Employee Network Groups can provide support, opportunities to socialise and input into the development of the University. If you'd like to be involved please contact Elaine Orchard, HR Manager.
If you'd like to provide feedback on a current policy, procedure or practice at BSU, or would be willing to provide feedback on any future practice, please also contact HR. If you'd prefer to make contact confidentially, then please indicate this.

- In England, the best performing group are Chinese girls; even those on FSM outperform all other ethnic groups whether on FSM or not. The worst performing group is Gypsy and Traveller children. Their performance is declining. Less than 1 in 6 obtain at least five good GCSEs.
- Ethnic minority students are up as a proportion of university students to 23% in 2009 (in line with their proportion in that age group).
- Around a third of Black students get a first or upper-second class degree, compared to two-thirds of White Students.
