This is the written evidence submitted by the NUS Black Students' Campaign to the APPG  on Race and Community
Inquiry's into Race and Higher Education in November 2013.

NUS has conducted several pieces of research with Black students, which together demonstrate the ways in which Black students’ experiences differ from those of their white peers.

NUS believes that many of the racial and ethnic disparities in the experiences of students that the research demonstrates can be understood as related to student engagement in the learning community, and that a partnership approach is most likely to be successful in solving these problems.
