But you know - sorting equality, diversity and inclusion - that's not a strategic objective that we take seriously… (Some of us do, but as a system and as individual Universities & research groups, do we really‽)
Being working-class BME & having graduated from a “world-class programmes”. I can confirm it is racist and there is a real lack of representation. OTOH, oxbridge STEM is significantly harder.. There’s a lack of uniformity across universities and degree programmes.
Not sure where the evidence is for OTOH: What's the comparitor? Is it "being harder" just because it's worse taught? Ultimately - what are we looking for in recruitment? The "Oxbridge or bust" culture in the UK is damaging.
The primary difficulty is a result of how marks and grades are assigned. (The workload is higher as well). Oxbridge degrees are graded using a non-linear function on a normal distribution. I.e some programmes require you to be in the top 60% to get a 2(I).
But yes, corporation, universities and research groups don’t really care about improving diversity. This is bad for everyone. I’m firmly of the opinion we should move away from metrics, have more BME people interviewing people and use contextual applications.
