Things we will be doing
- Full analysis of the EDI survey:
- Conducting focus groups prior to the agreement of actions in response to the findings of the survey.
- Results will be disseminated at both a School and University level.
- A report with the main findings and planned actions will be published on our internal website by the end of October 2020.
- Continued work towards our REC submission. The University will be completing its REC submission by July 2021, culminating in the generation of a 3-year action plan to enable us to make progress towards eradicating racism at Loughborough.
- Piloting the implementation of a ‘Race and racism reading and reflection group’ for white colleagues.
- Engaging an external provider to provide bespoke Race Equality Training for University Senior Leadership.
- Providing termly updates on the progress of our REC work.
- Implementing a transition module for all incoming students which will include an anti-racist section.
- Undertaking a review of curriculum to address white eurocentrism.
Notwithstanding the above, all those involved in this work acknowledge that there is still a significant way to go in order to eradicate racism at Loughborough. If you have any ideas, or wish to input then please contact REC@lboro.ac.uk.
