No Quota on Cluelessness @ Harvard

Share this article

A visiting lecturer at Harvard believes universities need, are you ready for this, more racial quotas. “Universities must be held accountable for failing to admit a diverse body of home students,” Kalwant Bhopal writes on her blog at the London School of Economics. “I suggest a quota system should be introduced for selective universities, as well as elite universities, such as Oxbridge and the Russell Group in particular.”
“The persistent failures of these publically-funded universities to address their inability to recruit the brightest students if they have the ‘wrong’ skin colour is, in the language of civil servants and policy-makers, not delivering value for money.”
