Nina Rahel, 59, who worked at the University of the Arts London, was forced out of her job of nine years after she pointed out the organisation's failure to deal with racism complaints or support Black and Asian students. The employment tribunal ruled in July that Ms Rahel's claims were valid, highlighting systemic failures within the diversity team. It was particularly shocking that after raising these critical issues, she was left without a position in a restructured diversity team that hired additional staff, illustrating a troubling contradiction in their approach to equality.
I had no choice but to lodge a claim, Ms Rahel told The Independent. It was a necessary but taxing David versus Goliath battle. The outrage stemmed from her treatment within the very department meant to uphold diversity principles. Despite the restructuring, having more roles than ever, no position was allocated for someone with her experience and insights, making her feel isolated and undervalued.
