Abstract

Wilkinson and Picket’s book The Spirit Level (2009) showed evidence of the levels of inequality experienced in the US and triggered a debate in the UK where the Equality Act was passed in 2010. To comply with legal requirements regarding discriminatory practices, HEIs were obliged to produce policies on good practice in a range of areas including processes of recruitment and appointment (ECU, 2012). Despite universities committing themselves to equality, diversity and inclusion issues due to legislation and promoting ideas about achieving one’s potential, and presenting themselves as meritocratic, research has shown a different kind of story.
