KING’S College London is to swap portraits and busts of some of the scholars who founded the university with a “wall of diversity” after pressure from students to make the institute less “alienating”.

Academics have voiced their concern the current pictures in the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience are too “intimidating” for ethnic minorities.

They want the pictures to be replaced with more Black and Minority Ethic scholars in a move described as “political correctness gone mad” by the president of the King’s Conservative Association, Sam Barrett.

Professor Patrick Leman unveiled the proposals saying the faculty should not just be filled with “busts of 1920s bearded men” but also more modern scholars.

Professor Leman has said the portraits are “almost entirely white middle-aged men” and will be replaced with a “wall of diversity”.

Teaching materials, such as diagrams of the human anatomy, will also be changed to include a “range of ethnic groups”.

He said: “We’re trying to reflect the diversity in terms of students we have, but also trying to be more inter-cultural, more international in terms of how we develop the science.
