Universities Too Elitist, Says Minister

Universities in the UK have been told that they must make their admissions procedures more transparent, Universities Secretary John Denham told the Higher Education Funding Council on Tuesday.

“There are far too many clever people at university, and this is wrong,” said the minister. “I want to see lots more vicious thugs from deprived, inner-city warzones terrorising our campuses. Otherwise society will get the impression that university admissions are based on some kind of discrimination, like merit. This does not sit well with young thick people, who may get the impression that being a feral illiterate is in some way a barrier to academic achievement.”
