Living Black at University 50 9 RECOMMENDATIONS 9.0 Recommendations 51 Living Black at University 50 Living Black at University 51 1 Universities and accommodation providers should collaborate to eliminate racism from all areas of the student experience, including student accommodation. Currently, HEIs are responding to the Rhodes Must Fall, Liberate My Degree and Black Lives Matter movements with a focus on addressing aspects of the learning environment that may be detrimental to Black students, and decolonising learning, teaching and assessment. However this work does not address racism in all areas of the student experience, and decolonising education must involve removing experiences of racism from all areas of the student experience, including student accommodation. It will be especially important for universities and private accommodation providers to work in partnership on a joint approach, in light of the high and growing proportion of student accommodation provided by the private sector. Consideration should also be given to the role of relevant codes, standards and charters and their potential to incorporate the findings and recommendations of this research. 9.0 RECOMMENDATIONS
