King’s College London bars staff from promotion unless they support pro-trans diversity policy
by Daniel Martin, Telegraph:
University may have breached equality law, barrister says, as gender-critical group calls for it to urgently review its hiring policies.
A major London university may have broken equality law by barring staff from promotion unless they support its pro-trans diversity policy.
A barrister has found that King’s College is potentially discriminatory against those who believe there are only two sexes and that trans people are not the gender they identify as.
It could also fall foul of new rules to come into force in August to protect free speech in universities.
King’s College told staff they cannot be promoted unless they sign up to the whole of the university’s “equality, diversity and inclusion ambitions”.
The policy states that staff members should provide evidence of what they have done to promote inclusion, such as taking part in activity run by Stonewall, the charity that has recently come under fire for its support of puberty blockers.
