I was incredibly humbled to be invited to the 'Christmas Dinner' some students organised with halal ingredients. It was lovely for our home British students to share foods and Xmas traditions with students who have never experienced a Christmas dinner. This is inclusion and integration 4/4

Dropping 'Christmas' is a classic example of performative inclusion that takes no action and actively drives exclusion by giving fodder to racists. For many students (esp international students) and staff being able to participate in Christmas festivities would be welcome and joyful. 3/4

My students asked me why if Bristol is such a diverse and inclusive city/uni there were no provisions for halal turkey as part of Xmas celebrations so they could take part in Xmas festivities and meals?
I told them I had been asking the same to Uni EDI committees since before they were born! 2/4
