TW: Racism and racial slur SOAS Students’ Union has condemned the use of the n-word by the university’s director in a meeting for students. Recordings of yesterday’s SOAS All Student Meeting, seen by The London Tab, show SOAS director Adam Habib using the n-word to a group of students. When students told him this was not acceptable, he attempted to justify its use. SOAS SU said the incident is “unacceptable, disgusting” and “SOAS is systemically racist”. Habib said he doesn’t think it is “fair” to “describe SOAS as institutionally racist”. He has since written to all SOAS staff and students to “apologise unreservedly” for the incident, saying: “I do now recognise the hurt and distress that has been caused and will continue to listen.”
