Diversity at university

BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Diversity at university

Does it matter if you go to a university with very few Asians?

The government is asking universities to do more to help ethnic minority students get better grades.

Does it matter if you go to a university with very few Asians, can it affect how well you do? The government is asking universities to do more to help ethnic minority students get better grades. Then we’ll be talking about social media and mental health. Whose responsibility do you think it is to monitor what children are exposed to online? Are social media companies doing enough? Later in the programme, hear from the founders of a book club exclusively for South Asian women, where they read novels also written by South Asian women. Do you think there are enough books out there that you can relate to? Finally, Indian lawyer Priyanka Khimani talks about what it’s like representing some of the biggest names in music and film and why getting Bollywood music samples cleared can be really difficult for artists, particularly in the west.
