Minorities biased at Oxford.

Filed under:

One of the most prestigious Institutions in the world, Oxford University, UK has admitted that blacks and ethnic minority staff is under-represented at the senior administrative and academic levels of the university, says a news report.

To encourage more participation from these sectors, the university has now advertised 15 career development fellowships for fixed term research and teaching positions, which aims at creating a more diverse pool of candidates for academic posts at the university, besides taking other initiatives.

According to John Hood, Vice Chancellor of the university, Working to remove any real or perceived barriers that might deter people of the highest quality from applying to Oxford, either as a staff or a student, is very much part of our mission.
