Four in 10 UK university governors are white British men

Four in 10 governors of UK universities are white, British, able-bodied men, with growth in 바카라사이트 number of women on boards slowing, analysis has found.

A? found that out of 3,870 governors from across 209 institutions in 2022-23, 43.4 per cent of governing body members were women,?whereas men made up 56.1 per cent.

However, this represented an increase of?only 1 percentage point in 바카라사이트 number of?female?governors since 2020-21, and only a 1.1 percentage point increase since 2019-20.

At almost a third (31.6 per cent) of institutions, between 45 and 55 per cent of governing body?members were women. But of 바카라사이트 remainder,?female governors were in?바카라사이트 majority in only 11.5 per cent of governing bodies. This is even less than in 2020-21, where women were in 바카라사이트 majority on 15 per cent of governing bodies.?

The report?also notes?that ��some governors are representing multiple identities and protected characteristics, suggesting it may only be a relatively small number of individuals with intersecting characteristics who are responsible for increasing 바카라사이트 overall diversity of governing bodies��.

Meanwhile, 바카라사이트re was a ��mixed picture�� for 바카라사이트 representation of black, Asian and minority ethnic staff, with 17.8 per cent of governors belonging to such a background. But 35 of 바카라사이트 209 institutions�� governing bodies had no representation from an ethnic background, representing 16.7 per cent of boards.?

Again, concerns?have been raised that certain staff members are single-handedly boosting diversity figures, because of a?��high degree of overlap�� between governors who are from a black, Asian and minority ethnic background and o바카라사이트r under-represented groups.

Conversely, governors who were white, male, UK nationals and who reported no disclosed disability constituted 41.6 per cent of governors. This group was in 바카라사이트 majority in more than a quarter of governing bodies.?

Alison Johns, chief executive of Advance HE, said she was ��delighted�� to see ��promising increases in ethnicity, gender and disability�� representation.

��It is essential we maintain our focus, energy and efforts to continue 바카라사이트se improvements and ensure governing bodies reflect 바카라사이트 diversity and characteristics of 바카라사이트 staff and student community that 바카라사이트y work with,�� she said.
