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 …
To give context. During my UG at Camb my friends began suffering with schizophrenia, etc. He was breaking down and little was done. He was pushed to sit his finals, but underperformed due to his health. He struggle to find employment later. He killed himself a year later at 21

That is horrific and you are right to be angry. The system fails many, but that is beyond tragic. I used to be a Teaching Fellow at Cambridge and the lack of proper mitigating circumstances and reasonable adjustments was shocking, and quite possibly illegal under the Equality Act

So you know what I’m talking about. It’s not uncommon. Similar story w/ me and 7 other I know — all w/ medical conditions, victims of assault etc. Yeh, Cambridge don’t do mitigating circumstances or adjustments. “All decisions are based purely on merit” — direct quote.

I am so sorry to hear this. That's horrific.

What I found hilarious, I recently spoke to few old Cambridge alumni; all in their 70s. All of them had exactly the same stories from the 1970s. How has nothing changed over the last 50 years.
It’s actually worse now then it was for them back then.
