Race equality isn't just a nice idea, it's a duty
Article Abstract:
Universities in the UK need to attract skilled and talented people from ethnic backgrounds if they are to contribute in a meaningful way to 21st-century Britain. At present, members of minority groups often find their way into higher education and university littered with obstacles and the UK's universities and colleges need to do more to rectify this situation and provide a level playing field for everybody.

The high-flyers who don't stray far from the nest
Article Abstract:
Statistics reveal that students from a poorer background in the UK are more likely to stay in their home area and go to one of the new universities, even if they have received top grades in their A-levels. If these students took up the places that they should have in the leading universities, then 3,000 privately educated students would be denied their places and would have to go to other universities.
