According to news reports, Manchester University, in a new drive to appoint more black and minority ethnic (BME) staff to senior posts is moving as close to posi¬tive discrimination as it can without breaking the law. The move is part of what Manchester claims is a unique Race in Leadership programme to boost equal opportunities at senior level. It has been hailed by the university and college union leaders as a model that should be adopted across the sector. In 2004-05 BME staff made up only 4.7% of professors across the UK.
Aneez Esmail, a profes¬sor of general practice and Manchester’s associate vice-president for equality and diversity, is heading the initiative.
