A damning independent report into race equality at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) has found racial discrimination against staff of colour and a dominant Eurocentric approach, and highlighted an absence of senior leaders from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds.
The report, written by Prof Jason Arday of the University of Glasgow, was commissioned after an open letter from the BAME staff network in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in 2020.
