They are so two faced and contradictory.
They go on about racism, but have a special Black / Ethnic Network, how discrimatory is that ?
That's what I thought when I read that. Can white staff join it? can they have a White Network?
And wtf is the "Vice-Chancellor’s Diversity Fund" all about?

Good for you! That should make them feel a lot more comfortable and less threatened.

Oxford University has apologised for saying that avoiding eye contact could be "everyday racism" after it was accused of discriminating against autistic people.

But the university was criticised for being "insensitive" to autistic people who can struggle making eye contact.

It said it had made a mistake and not taken disabilities into account.
