Dear Mr Lynch
In response to your email of 1 August 2007, with regards your question 4, we have attached statistics from 2002-2006 regarding staff ethnicity percentages at the School. We have also been able to provide a breakdown for 2005-06 by staff occupation, however, we don't hold statistics further back than this. Future breakdowns will be available through the race equality scheme
Race equality. Black and Minority Ethnic staff and students at LSE are currently involved in a review of the RES. The revised version will be published on LSE's website in due course, which is likely to be next year.
With regards your questions 1-3, the School has already provided answers in its response to you of 31st July 2007.
Regards,
Rachael Maguire
Records Manager
London School of Economics

Dear Kevin Haynes,
Thank you for your reply on behalf of the LSE.
1) You said and I quote:
"There is no evidence of institutional racism at any of the LSE's departments academic or non-academic."
Is there any evidence to confirm that none of the LSE's departments academic or non-academic are Institutionally Racist which is the same as White Supremacist?
2) You said and I quote:
"We are not aware that the legislation prescribes a 'correct' number. We are working towards diversifying our staff at all organizational levels."
How will LSE know that LSE has actually managed to diversify staff at all organisational levels and that this work has been successful?
Have any targets been set?
3) You said and I quote:
"Our Equality and Diversity Committee and HR policies provide a School-wide umbrella to ensure that racism in any form or shape is proactively avoided, and if it exists, is effectively addressed."
Does the LSE actually ask prospective staff if they are Racist or not and record their replies?
4) Please would you send me, by post and email, information that shows how many Black and Non-white staff have been distributed throughout the LSE each year since 2002 compared to White staff at all organisational levels.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Kind regards
Derrick Lynch
