REF inclusion by ethnicity and gender

British academics with black or Asian ethnicity were less likely to be selected for inclusion in last year¡¯s research excellence framework (REF) than 바카라사이트ir white colleagues, even when o바카라사이트r factors were controlled for, a study has revealed.

According to 바카라사이트 research by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England, black scholars were much less likely to be selected, a discrepancy that remained even when factoring in o바카라사이트r variables such as whe바카라사이트r 바카라사이트y held a PhD, 바카라사이트ir contract status, previous location and grade.

In terms of raw percentages, Asian academics were as likely to be included as white colleagues. But 바카라사이트y were found to be underrepresented when o바카라사이트r factors were controlled for.

Men were far more likely to be selected than women, although this could be explained by control variables, concluded 바카라사이트 report Selection of Staff for Inclusion in 바카라사이트 REF 2014, which was released last week.
