UNIFI: Universities do not accept discrimination or racism
Like many other societal actors, universities are currently very concerned about racism, polarization, the intensification of public discourse, and the way in which our society based on equality and non-discrimination is being challenged.
Universities do not accept discrimination or racism in any form, Universities Finland UNIFI writes in a press release.
Universities are open and diverse communities and key drivers of internationalisation in our society. Our goal is for universities to be safe and non-discriminating environments. We are committed to promoting equality and inclusion and preventing discrimination in all our operations.
Universities openly recognise that they are part of structural racism. According to a recent study, it is more difficult for ethnic minorities in Finnish higher education institutions to advance their career than for the majority population.
