Yet so much about university life creates the sense that BAME students do not really belong\u2014nationally curriculums are overwhelmingly white or western, support structures can be patronising or micro aggressive and there is a lack of BAME people in teaching and professional roles.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe higher education sector sees itself as fair minded, progressive and inclusive, which makes the BAME attainment gap all the more shocking and reveals the truth of how deeply racism is embedded in our society.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUltimately, we want universities to be places where BAME students feel that they belong, are welcomed and valued. While the depth of racism suggests this is a long-term goal, BAME students need to see universities taking immediate action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, through staff training, accessible harassment reporting mechanisms and open dialogue with students and staff of colour about creating a sense of belonging. At the union, we\u2019re committed to addressing this inequality and want to ensure that any progress made in the coming months is maintained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we\u2019ve asked our trustee &nbsp;board to agree key structural changes to guarantee BAME student voice in policy and political decision-making. We\u2019ll also keep listening to students\u2019 experiences and ideas for change and campaigns \u2013 and I\u2019d like to encourage students to keep sharing them with us at <a href=\"mailto:theunion@mmu.ac.uk\">theunion@mmu.ac.uk<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The African and Caribbean Society at MMU has more than 400 members and was voted Best Nationality and Culture Society and Best Society of the year at the society awards this year.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Introducing your new Acs Committee 2020\/21 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/U4lMuRVUzA\">pic.twitter.com\/U4lMuRVUzA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\u2014 MMU ACS 20\/21 (@manmetacs) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/manmetacs\/status\/1274058774584733700?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 19, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The aim of the society is to celebrate a shared black culture and to put on events such as <a name=\"_Hlk45116176\">mental health, social, educational, trivia nights and themed parties in the union.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Former president Chibesa Nolan, 23, a business &nbsp;management undergraduate, said that his experience with the union had been largely positive.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"image file-default media-element\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chibesa Nolan, former president of Man Met Uni African and Caribbean Society\" data-delta=\"1\" data-fid=\"6063\" data-media-element=\"1\" height=\"335\" src=\"http:\/\/wordpress.satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/437\/2020\/07\/tyrek_morris_0.jpg\" title=\"Chibesa Nolan, former president of Man Met Uni African and Caribbean Society\" width=\"500\"><figcaption>Chibesa Nolan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He said: \u201cI do believe that MMU have provided me with a welcoming space.
