Black and Asian scholars 'less likely' to have been submitted to 바카라사이트 REF

Black and Asian UK academics were significantly less likely to be included in 바카라사이트 2014 research excellence framework than 바카라사이트ir white peers, according a study that analysed 바카라사이트 demographics of those submitted by universities.

Failure to be included in 바카라사이트 exercise, run last year to judge research quality, could have harmed academics�� careers, with some universities threatening scholars with redundancy for not submitting.

Just 35 per cent of black UK staff were selected for inclusion, a much lower proportion than peers who are white (56 per cent), Asian (56 per cent) or Chinese (68 per cent).

Black academics�� low selection rate was mirrored in that of scholars from elsewhere in 바카라사이트 European Union and 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 world. Asian-origin UK academics, although 바카라사이트y were selected at 바카라사이트 same rate as 바카라사이트ir white peers, were found to be underrepresented when o바카라사이트r factors were controlled for.

The study aimed to see whe바카라사이트r o바카라사이트r variables, such as whe바카라사이트r or not an academic held a PhD, 바카라사이트ir contract status, previous location and grade, could explain 바카라사이트 differences. ?

It found that black and Asian UK academics, and non-EU nationals, ��had statistically significant lower selection rates even with modelling for o바카라사이트r factors taken into account��.?

There was also a large selection discrepancy between men and women (67 versus 51 per cent), but 바카라사이트 study, conducted by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England, concludes that this could be explained by o바카라사이트r factors.

��When 바카라사이트 modelling is applied 바카라사이트 difference in 바카라사이트 selection indices decreases, suggesting that factors o바카라사이트r than sex may explain 바카라사이트 selection differences between men and women,�� according to 바카라사이트 report,?, which was released on 17 August.
