Students are experiencing damage to their mental health.
Travellers in higher education are facing prejudice, and feel the need to hide their identity.
According to the Irish Times, a new study shows Traveller and Roma students attending university are experiencing racism, financial hardship, and pressure to conceal their identity.
The report by College Connect involves more than 30 college graduates from TUS Midlands, and Midwest, Maynooth University, DCU, and Dundalk Institute of Technology.
Interviewees described the damage to their mental health borne from feeling a lack of belonging, and uncertainty over their right to access support.
The report calls for the development of a Traveller and Roma Inclusion Strategy which would involve staff and student antiracism training.
