Few Blacks Teaching Architecture in Britain

Using the United Kingdom’s Freedom of Information Act, Doctor Simba, a black architect, obtained a racial breakdown of the faculty at the 24 schools of architecture in Britain. The results showed that 11 of the 24 schools, including the one at Oxford University, had no blacks on their faculties. Three additional schools had a single black faculty member and three had two blacks on their faculties.
