I usually start the day with reviewing recruitment data and progress against recruitment targets. Typically, I meet with team members to review activity and progress against our strategic plans, check in with our in-country staff, liaise with admissions on any issues or roadblocks in the admissions process. Most days, I meet with different faculty international engagement groups to discuss individual faculty activities and how best global recruitment can support their goals in internationalisation.

Dublin City University today launched its Race Equality Framework and Action Plan 2025–2028, setting out the University’s roadmap to eliminate racism and advance race equality across all areas of university life. Developed over the past year through a consultative process led by the DCU Race Equality Working Group, the plan reflects broad engagement with staff and students across the University. It provides a structured framework to embed anti-racism in DCU’s culture, systems and everyday practice under seven pillars: The launch event was opened by Deputy President Professor Anne Sinnott and DCU Students’ Union Vice-President for Diversity and Inclusion, Malha Muhammed, and featured a panel discussion chaired by Dr. Niamh McGuirk with contributions from Gertrude Rufai, Dr. Gordon Ogutu, Dr.

Hadjer Taibi and Harry Mallon. Speaking about the launch of the Framework and Action Plan, President of Dublin City University Professor Daire Keogh said “At DCU, we pride ourselves on the diversity of our staff and student population and on our inclusive values. As a signatory of the HEA Anti-Racism Principles, we believe that Universities like ours have a responsibility to be leaders of positive change in society, challenging racism and race inequality wherever we find it. Dublin City University has been accused by a minister of ‘hiking up rents’ and ‘using a loophole’ by raising the service charge for on-campus accommodation. Further and Higher Education Minister James Lawless said he intends to write to DCU asking it to stop the increase in service charges for students living on the Glasnevin campus.

Mr Lawless has said while the changes may be ‘within the letter of the law’ they are not ‘in the spirit of the law’. ‘These are publicly funded institutions. We have a student accommodation challenge, and I’m trying to increase that around the country,’ he told RTÉ on his way in to Cabinet on Wednesday. The university increased the service charge – which covers utilities such as gas and electricity – for students from €87 to €130 at the start of this term.
