How to Prioritize the Ethnic Diversity of Staff at Higher Education Institutions

In this report, QS asks higher education institutions to consider some crucial questions: 

  • When it comes to ethnic diversity, does your institution take account of and value the differences of your staff and students? 
  • Does your institution prioritize the development and advancement of ethnic diversity in its staff cohort? 
  • What ethnic diversity goals and plans does your institution have for one year, five years, and 10 years from now? 
  • How does your institution support these staff members, encourage their development and advancement, and listen to their concerns?   

Higher education institutions have a responsibility to explore and examine the answers to these questions and take proactive steps to ensure representation and inclusion are core tenets of their operations.
