What鈥檚 the real impact of the ethnic pay gap?

Non-white university staff are being paid less than their white counterparts

Over the past year, the gender pay gap has sparked outrage across the country. But another issue considered more uncomfortable and unspoken about is slowly coming to light: the ethnic minority pay gap. The 成人论坛鈥檚 Rianna Croxford has been investigating the ethnic pay gap at the UK鈥檚 top universities. We speak to her and discuss the impact of that gap with Olivette Otele, the UK鈥檚 first black female history professor.

Correction: this episode contains a reference to the percentage of students graduating with first class degrees by ethnicity. These figures are incorrect. The correct figures are that 53% of black students get a first or a 2:1, compared to two thirds of Asian students and 78% of white students. Apologies.
