One of our flagship policies trumpeted by May was the requirement to report discrepancies in ethnic minority pay. It was ready to go, but ministers dragged their feet, and the policy document sits gathering dust in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with, apparently, little or no interest from No 10. The other two big policies gathering dust were to twin university funding with the Race Equality Charter, which is a university policy framework that would help transform the Bame attainment gap, the lack of black professors, senior staff, and bring the curriculum into the 21st global century. And the last big idea we had was to recruit a modest 30,000 black teachers over a 10-year period. The ideal number needed would be 50,000.
