Given the pre-occupation of a segment of the population with allegations of racism and discrimination, the University of Guyana, as the leading educational institution in the country, thought it appropriate to launch on November 3, 2021, the “Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity Policy “Unit (IDEP) to provide leadership on this area. In theory, educational institutions at all levels are well positioned to play a key role in mitigating harsh racial attitudes, promoting tolerance, and understanding. Civil discourses, views, and evidence of racism and discrimination must be ventilated and in cases where injury has been inflicted and established, appropriate to protect remedy must be instituted. We must move beyond words onto deeds.
