A charity charging universities thousands of pounds a year to participate in a racial equality scheme is "the most egregious wokery", MPs have claimed.Advance HE, which counts scores of universities as members of its Racial Equality Charter scheme, is reportedly responsible for cultural and curriculum changes at universities, according to the Telegraph.
The charity previously received millions of pounds in taxpayer funding but now makes its money through membership fees from universities involved in the scheme. Government figures believe that Advance HE's influence has led to initiatives such as Cambridge University's guide for academics to use 'trigger warnings' in course texts.
A handbook for the university's centre for teaching and learning said: "As well as students with mental health conditions, we believe that content notes can play a crucial role in helping to level the playing field for minoritised students of all kinds, as part of the university's commitment to inclusivity in teaching."
