The BFI has accepted the conclusions and said it cares deeply about being an anti-racist organization.
Deadline first revealed Qureshis complaint in anin-depth story in March last year.
It is clear that this complaint was badly handled.
Ben Roberts, chief executive of the BFIGetty
Qureshi has argued that the BFIs actions are evidence of systemic racism, an allegation the BFI refuted.
Roberts has written to Qureshi to apologize.
Qureshi said he remained uncertain about whether to accept Roberts apology or his offer of a meeting.
Faisal A Qureshi
Its kind of like the unrepentant school bully has been compelled to give an apology, he said.
Deadline understands that Roberts stands by his characterization.
We accept that our handling of the complaint was not good enough.
We have apologised to Faisal and invited him to meet with BFI chief executive Ben Roberts.
Weve overhauled our complaints process and handling of complex cases.
We care deeply about being an anti-racist organisation.
We are focused on equality of access to our funds.
