BAME awarding gap shrinks under ‘flexible’ Covid marking policies

I confess I have not read the article, because I am tired of the mental gymnastics people do when they broach this topic; in the end never reaching a workable solution. The purpose of all these articles are just performative, they have to appear to be doing something, when the situation doesn't change, because it is not meant to. The reason why there is an attainment gap has a lot to do with the hostile, unpleasant and sometimes harrowing environment black students encounter at universities. It is that simple. Speaking from my own experience at university I had to change twice because of it. I managed to finish at a university in London with a 2:1 and PTSD. After my degree, I did not even stick around for the graduation ceremony, I fled the country back to where I am from, to the safe haven of my parents home, to rest and recover from the harassment I had been subjected to. It took me a few years to feel okay again, but there was a part of me that never really did. I returned to Britain for work but discovered the workplace in England was rife with the same level of toxicity I had experimented at uni; constant psychological warfare, trying to erase you as a human being.
