George Floyd case: University statement

The University has issued a statement following the killing of an African-American man by police in Minneapolis which has caused outrage and protests across America and around the world.

The statement begins:

“As a University community we are outraged by the brutal killing of George Floyd. Our thoughts are with Mr Floyd and his family. Mr Floyd’s death is one more example of the senseless loss of yet another Black life as a result of societal and systemic racism. Those responsible must be held accountable. While we recognise this to have happened in the US, the responsibility to address racism and to treat each other with dignity, respect and compassion is as applicable here in the UK.”
