Emeritus Prof Christopher May6d ago

A key defence of higher education is its contribution to social mobility, so we should be attentive to *which* universities actually achieve the greater impact on transforming the lives of their students.

You will notice that while Cambridge is ranked 20th & Oxford are rated 34th (Cambridge has improved its place while Oxford has dropped)... its the more maligned universities that do a better job for students life chances!

Just sayin'

@ChrisMayLA6 I received a better education from the community college I attended than from the nationally accredited university from which I obtained my bachelor's degree. The dedication of the professors to their students was much more evident in the former.
