UCL now hosts Facebook’s PhD programme. Not an endowment or grant with guaranteed independence, but a business partnership where the company (as in this press release) describes the PhD programme, consistently as “ours”.https://twitter.com/alexvoica/status/1364306538521890820 …
They’re definitely not subject to fewer equality laws. University complaints go through the OIA — which isn’t particularly independent. Workers at tech companies are protected by employment rights and the employment tribunal.

Private companies, unlike universities, aren’t subject to the public sector equality duty which can be used to challenge every decision it makes. I’m also not really sure you want to go against Facebook, one of the most litigious companies in the world, at an employment tribunal.

I agree with the latter. But public sector Equity Duty is a section of the Equity Act 2010. You can go to the EHRC or OIA, but frankly it’s a losing battle. Similarly it’s so rare to win.
