Tackling Racial Harassment: Universities Challenged
The motion
That the Parliament notes the inquiry into racial harassment in publicly-funded universities by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) conducted in 2019; welcomes the publication of the inquiry findings in the report, Tackling Racial Harassment: Universities Challenged; understands that 11% of students from an ethnic minority background studying at Scottish universities reported having experienced racial harassment; considers with regret that a disconnect exists between how victims and universities feel incidents of racial harassment are reported; supports the response by Universities Scotland, which has committed to tackling racial harassment with a series of actions, and considers that Scotland aspires to be a global destination of choice for people to live, study and work.
