A Case Study on ED&I in Higher Education: Part One

Akhil Yerneni is a Senior Consultant at Anderson Quigley, specialising in Higher Education leadership and executive recruitment. He worked with Mehrunnisa Lalani to secure her placement as an Interim Director of ED&I at the University of Manchester. In her role, Mehrunnisa led and facilitated a cultural transformation of ED&I within the University by developing a cohesive strategic approach to ED&I.

This is part one of a three-part conversation where Mehrunnisa and Akhil discuss race, ED&I and her time at the University of Manchester. In this section they explore how organisations can be anti-racist, the pandemic’s impact on practicing ED&I in Higher Education and the government’s Race and Ethnic Disparities report.
