UG Degree awarding gap is one of the reasons for the sharp drop from UG to PGR for UK domiciled students. Upper second class (2.1) remains a requirement for PhD admission in @RussellGroup unis. Should we reconsider this? How do 2.2 holders perform at PGR?https://twitter.com/KEHplantsci/status/1362488630137282562 …

It’s frustrating and so patently obvious. UG classification hugely varies between universities and courses. You also find students with disabilities, from lower socioeconomics and BME are all marginalised. Academics have always lived in an ivory tower — they don’t care.
I do see it as a systematic institutional failing of academics as a collective. There are definitely those who want to improve things. — but the overwhelming opinion is their in the minority or have never taken action to change things in their control.
