Ethnic Minority staff are paid less

Shocking findings from UCEA the Universities and Colleges Employers Association in their latest report released this week.
UCEA’s research focuses on the difference in basic pay between men and women in two broad groups – black and Asian – compared with those of white men and white women.  Using HESA staff data for 2016-17, UCEA finds that there are sizeable earnings gaps by both gender and ethnicity.  Among white academic men, 38.7% earned over £50,000 compared with 23.9% of white women, 25.1% of Asian men and much lower percentages for all other groups.  Also in professional services staff , black members are over-represented at the lower levels of pay (below £30,000).
