'Few black professors but lots of cleaners'

Article Abstract:

Uduak Archibong, newly appointed professor of diversity at Bradford University, argues that universities in the UK are institutionally racist, noting that while 20% of the population of Bradford, UK, are from ethnic minority groups, only 15.3% of the university's workforce are. Archibong's role at Bradford includes areas such as age, sexual orientation and disability, but race is a key focus of the job, with Archibong commenting that dealing with race is to deal with deep-seated and complex challenges.

Article Abstract:

Robert Mighall, former academic and now senior consultant at university branding specialists Lloyd Northover, believes a widespread view exists that there is something 'quite naff' about traditional university merchandise, such as teddy bears and pen sets. Mighall would like a major revamp of products offered and some universities are already offering games and toys based on their research strengths.

Article Abstract:

Institutions must court donors if they want them to give but must not assume that potential donors will be easy to attract. Universities able to give clear answers to questions such as how the money will be used and how much it costs to endow a professorship are those will perform best in fundraising.
