Uplift Black Students

BACKGROUND

  • There are doubts concerning if LSE is an anti racist institution

  •  LSE markets themselves as being extremely diverse and progressive using the ‘60%’ but is this the lived experience for some student groups?

  • LSE have not released their student population by ethnicity since 2019 

  •  LSE halls of residence inductions have no strong mention of racism

  • The disparity within BME groups is unknown to students  


OBJECTIVES

  • LSE to publish statistics of students by ethnicity and to release old Data since 2019 ( This includes population and academic results ) 

  •  LSE to conduct a formal investigation into the black experience at LSE which will involve current students, alumni, and staff of all levels, which will be made public.

  • LSE to develop and carry out anti racism and discrimination workshops mandatory for both staff and students 

  •  LSE to recruit and develop specialised career support for students from disadvantaged / underrepresented backgrounds and work with ABC

  •  LSE to revisit its code of conduct and explicitly commit to having a zero tolerance for any form of racism and discrimination 


OPINION FROM SARAH

  • LSE negligence perpetuated a culture in which black students suffer in silence and are often met with apathy from peers. 

  • There is no catered support for black students from LSE. 

  •  We only have the ACS and now ABC in which some students like commuters may have a limited capability to participate.
