<p>Racial harassment is unacceptable and we cannot tolerate staff and students being
victims of it at our world-leading universities.</p><p> </p><p>Higher education providers
have clear responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 and should discharge their
responsibilities fully and have robust policies and procedures in place to comply
with the law, to investigate and swiftly address incidents reported to them.</p><p>
</p><p>The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) inquiry has made an important
contribution to our knowledge of the extent of racism in higher education. The government
will look closely at EHRC’s recommendations. Although some progress has been made,
it is clear there is still more to do. Universities have clear responsibilities in
this regard and I expect them to take these seriously.</p>
