Will @BBCNewsnight @bbceducation apologise and rectify this?

You know this level of extraction & plagarism hit us hard this morning. At @LeadingRoutes we do so much behind the scenes work which means we don't usually have the time to respond to this type of journalism.

But @pwi11iams took the time out of mat leave to speak to them.
We focus our energies on practical interventions, support and democratising information. We don't prioritise shouting about what we do. We also do not engage in request which individualise structural racism in HE. @LeadingRoutes
We don't engage in represenation politics in our outputs because our focus is on Black students having CHOICES and all the information. PhDs and careers in academia arent for everyone.

But this @BBCNewsnight segment was spun to deliver msgs we are not comfortable with.
As well as clearly misrepresenting the practical interventions needed for race equity in HE, they used so much of our language and presented our work as theirs.

Can't lie, this type of extraction (though many might say we shouldn't be suprised) has really hurt us.
The callous disregard of Black women's work is a practice which so many feel entitled to partake in. It is exhausting, upsetting and violent.

Coming for @BBCNewsnight right now, but dont think I've forgotten the how prevelent these issues are in HE more broadly.
