Universities in Britain face the same ridiculous pressure as ours do to become “more diverse” by admitting students based on their parents’ education — or lack thereof. Story and many interesting comments here.
Applicants will have to state whether their parents went to college. Preferences will be given, of course, to those whose parents did not. The government wants to “improve the social mix,” you see.
Another good reason to favor the separation of school and state.
