Prof hits back at uni moves to axe him

A CAMPAIGN is underway following the news that Chichester University has suspended a unique Black history course of study offered by renowned academic, Professor Hakim Adi.

Professor Adi who leads the course, and who is the first and only professor of the African diaspora and diaspora in Britain, is being threatened with redundancy as a result.He said: “It’s the only course of its kind in Europe and was one of the recommendations of the History Matters conference in 2015 supported by the University of Chichester.

“But the university also wants to get rid of the first person of African heritage to become a History Professor in this country as well.” The move has shocked many of those familiar with Adi’s work over the years in addition to many others with a keen interest in African history.
