Third of minority ethnic university staff subjected to racial discrimination on campus

The findings are issued by the Higher Education Authority (HEA) and include input from some 3,300 staff working in higher education in Ireland.

More than one-third of minority ethnic third-level staff say they have been subjected to racial or ethnic discrimination on campus.

They are also less likely to be on permanent contracts and more likely to earn less than €60,000 per year than their white colleagues.
