'Students’ union cultural and diversity officer at UAL...argued that there was a role for positive discrimination in arts education as “the only way to break the nepotistic nature of the creative industries”.' Did I read that right? Positive discimination is unlawful in most cases in the UK. The Cultural and Diversity Officer should know this, and it is extremely disturbing for it to be officially advocating that kind of practice. UAL's policy is to eliminate all forms of discrimination, so why is it that ArtsSU are going against this and demanding more?
