        @sapinker Don't see how NCH will compete when vast majority of talented students from poor backgrounds are priced out.

        @quirkathon @patrickdelliott we offer full scholarships and maintenance grants to exceptionally talented candidates who pass a means test.

        @NewCollegeH @quirkathon That's good, but US style model means those with money have it easier. Scholarships are nice, but not enough.

        @patrickdelliott @quirkathon NCH scholarships: pay no fees, receive maintenance grants & leave uni with no debt. What more could we offer?

        @NewCollegeH @quirkathon Scholarship model is flawed. Good that you have them but poor students have to be lucky; Rich just have to be rich.

        @NewCollegeH @quirkathon Given existing lvl of inequality, don't see the need for elite US style private unis in educational landscape.

        @NewCollegeH @quirkathon Should be interesting to see what proportion of your intake was privately educated.

        @sapinker I am not sure these alternatives are viable when it comes to expensive infrastructure investments over and beyond the humanities

        @sapinker They don't have too much to worry about with Grayling as "the philosopher". An Englishmen untouched by American pragmatism.
