Policy Pillar

Policy Pillar

The POLICY committee is dedicated to getting underneath & examining the policies and practices that govern university life, interrogating across institutions on how this manifests into everyday activities.

By focusing on those activities & practices,  we aim to highlight where systemic racism shows up and where inequalities continue to prevail, hindering, or making hidden barriers for progression and success for Black, Brown and POC Staff and Students.

We want to understand the ‘what’ and the ‘why’, and what is missing or hidden. We are dedicated to doing this background work and to use our knowledge, position, and influence to make clear recommendations for change and build equity for now, and the future. 

Our FUNDING endeavours will be directed at local and national Arts and Design income streams
