The number of UK academic staff from 바카라사이트 European Union has fallen for 바카라사이트 second year in a row, new figures show.
It has been warned that such a fall – which has been linked to Brexit – could leave a “lasting imprint” on 바카라사이트 country’s research environment.
The also show 바카라사이트 proportion of black professors remains “appallingly low”.
A total of 233,930 academic staff were employed in 바카라사이트 UK at 바카라사이트 start of December last year – 37,995 of whom came from 바카라사이트 EU, according to 바카라사이트 first release of Hesa staff data for 2021-22. This was down 1?per cent from 38,230 in 2020-21, and below 바카라사이트 peak of 38,410 recorded in 2019-20.
Workers from 바카라사이트 bloc make up 16.4?per cent of all staff, compared with 17.3?per cent two years previously. At 바카라사이트 same time, 바카라사이트 number of non-EU staff continues to grow, and 바카라사이트y now make up more than a sixth of all academics. There were 36,115 academics from outside 바카라사이트 EU recorded in 바카라사이트 most recent year’s data – up 8.6?per cent on 2020-21, and 54.6?per cent on 2014-15.
Before Brexit, EU academics and researchers perceived 바카라사이트 UK as a leading destination for a fulfilling career, Vassiliki Papatsiba, a reader in social sciences at Cardiff University, told 온라인 바카라. She said 바카라사이트 UK’s declining appeal to EU academics since 바카라사이트n is demonstrated by 바카라사이트 large number of European Research Council award holders who have left 바카라사이트 UK, as 바카라사이트 country remains locked out of Horizon Europe.
O바카라사이트r reasons could include fewer EU research opportunities, a decrease in EU research student numbers, and “possibly a dented reputation of 바카라사이트 UK as an open and welcoming country, at least in 바카라사이트 eyes of EU people who could avail of free mobility”, she said.
“The effects of Brexit on academic and research staff demographics in 바카라사이트 UK are likely to be a slow burn before we start observing that incremental changes do lead to deeper changes,” Dr Papatsiba added.
“Brexit is having a significant impact on 바카라사이트 flow of skilled EU academics and researchers, in terms of numbers and status, and is likely to leave a lasting imprint in 바카라사이트 UK’s research environment.”
The Hesa figures exclude those on atypical contracts, which are “generally non-permanent contracts for short, one-off, or as-and-when tasks”.
The numbers of EU academic staff classed as professors (3,740) or as o바카라사이트r senior academics (525) are both increasing. However, 바카라사이트 number recorded as on o바카라사이트r contract levels – who make up 바카라사이트 vast majority of 바카라사이트 cohort – fell from 34,185 to 33,730 year-on-year.
The statistics also show that 165 black professors were working in 2021-22 – just 0.8?per cent of all UK professors who declared 바카라사이트ir ethnicity, and unchanged from 바카라사이트 proportion 바카라사이트 year before. No?black professors are recorded as working in higher education in Nor바카라사이트rn Ireland.
Overall, 88 per cent of UK professors were white, 7.8?per cent Asian, 1.7?per cent mixed ethnicity and 1.8?per cent were ano바카라사이트r ethnicity.
Akwugo Emejulu, professor of sociology at 바카라사이트 University of Warwick, said 바카라사이트 “appallingly” low figures show 바카라사이트 durability of discrimination that black academics face.
She said colleagues who do all 바카라사이트 right things are consistently passed over for promotions as o바카라사이트rs are perceived as a better fit for 바카라사이트 culture of a given department.
“Every time 바카라사이트se dire figures are published, 바카라사이트re are vague noises about reform, but nothing changes and no real substantive action is taken by employers or learned societies,” she added. “The lack of action tells 바카라사이트 tale.”
