Student subjected to racist abuse at Nottingham Trent University

We are shocked and appalled by this video. This vile behaviour will not be tolerated at NTU. We value being a diverse global community, with staff and students from across the world.

We are in regular contact with our student who made the complaint and are providing support.

The suspected perpetrators have been suspended immediately and we have begun an investigation. We are also cooperating fully with the police, who have launched a criminal investigation and have made arrests.

It’s clear that there have been delays in dealing with this incident, and that is completely unacceptable. We will work with our accommodation partner to review our processes to ensure this never happens again.

X.

Well done on suspending them, I hope you have the courage of your convictions to expel them entirely... This isn't 'slap on the wrist' behaviour.

Plausible analysis.

I have to say, particularly on twitter, a lot of the stick seems to be going to NTU for things where UPP was at fault. Not to say NTU was perfect though and they definitely need to reconsider their relationship with UPP because I do not believe it is in the best interests of student welfare, not just based on this incident

This appears to be yet another case where someone reported a crime to the wrong people. Why tell the university who do nothing for hours when the police service is right place to make the report (and who treat hate crime as a priority), preferably while the crime is still being committed?

Although I appreciate it was not your intent, to frame it like this implies that the presence of BME students somehow causes racist violence. The real causes lie elsewhere, in the politics and ideology of of racial divisiveness and supremacy.

To me speaks to a wider issue around the calibre of people entering university these days.

As someone already mentioned, people are entering university with DDD these days. That speaks a lot.

A degree these days is not even worth the paper it’s not on. Recruiters talk about poor quality hires when it comes to graduates. Then we wonder why graduates struggle to get good jobs upon graduating.

Letting all and sundry into university is devaluing university honours.

It’s interesting how the racist thugs always come from these lower ranked universities. The former UKIP member who said horrible things about Meghan Markle and black people happened to have attended Canterbury Christ Church University. There’s an interesting trend.

Racism happens at top universities aswell. If you think academic people can't be racist... well... I don't know what to say
