Cambridge Accused of Breaking Law by Only Offering Support to Black Dons
5th October 2026
Cambridge dons have accused the university of breaching equality law by denying “support and advice” to academics who are not black.
My, what a surprise.
The university contacted all students and staff in August following the death of Jason Arday to inform them that “black members of staff” could contact its “senior black leaders group” for assistance.
Imagine the reaction if they had a ‘senior white leaders group’.
Academics believe the offer breached the Equality Act by failing to extend help “on the same basis irrespective of race”.
Which it obviously did, but in fact some people are more equal than others.
