headline is a little bit misleading and withholds contextual information, making it seem more sensational than it actually seem

from the article's second paragraph: "The student union at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) insists that when studying philosophy “the majority of philosophers on our courses” should be from Africa and Asia."

while i might disagree with some of the nuances of the petition/movement, "Oriental/African Studies students want more representation from Oriental/African scholars" seems like a slightly better condensation of the article
