Cambridge University Blocked White Students From Applying For Post-Graduate Programme

Fact checked

The University has been accused of being a “little bit racist”

Cambridge uni

It has been revealed that the University of Cambridge had initially blocked white working-class students from applying for a post-graduate programme designed to ‘give opportunity to students from underrepresented groups’.

The initial plan was to exclude white students from a programme that would offer free accomodation on campus for six weeks, as well as an intern’s wage for 35 hours per week while the students trained in research skills.

The scheme would lead up to the students writing a 4,000-word essay giving them “the confidence and skills to apply for postgraduate study and other research careers”.

The plan however sparked concern about the Universitys diversity priorities.

Breitbart reports: According to a report from The Telegraph, lecturers at the university were told: “The programme will be advertised for second or third-year UG [undergraduate] students from Black, British Black, Pakistani, Bangladeshi or British-Pakistani, British Bangladeshi students studying at traditional research-intensive universities, who are planning to continue their studies in 2024.”

After being contacted by the newspaper as to why working-class white students were not included for consideration, despite significant under-representation at the elite university, the school ultimately reversed course, saying that it will now be “open to a wider group defined by socio-economic factors instead, including white working-class.”

Nevertheless, the attempt at excluding the white working class has been seen as revealing the left-wing biases of the university.

Professor David Abulafia of Gonville and Caius College said: “It’s good that the programme has been recalibrated so that the criterion is disadvantage rather than race. The racial criterion seemed to assume non-white students are automatically disadvantaged. Isn’t that a little bit racist?”

A Cambridge lecturer in divinity, Dr James Orr, added that, while the idea was excellent, “this kind of opportunity should surely be available to everyone on the basis of merit and need, not ethnic background. Undergraduates from ethnic minorities do not need a helping hand from the university to progress to graduate research. If it is the case that the decision has been reversed, the administration should be commended for doing the right thing.”

  4. Another Sham, academic sham is common place in the USA. California schools cater to minorities, and seem to want to make their falled foreign cultures on par with those norms considered worldwide as superior – originating here in the USA.

  5. Education has been utterly corrupted by politics for centuries. Centuries. People don’t think. They’re been. Brainwashed to comply.
    I’ve known aot if professors Heads of Departments etc They aren’t so smart Believe me they’re very “conditioned”

  6. Only in America can there be a black president; Black History Month; Black Nat’l Anthem sung at the Super Bowl; affirmative action; set asides; separate black college dorms and graduation ceremonies; critical race theory taught in schools—yet blacks STILL claim “systemic racism.” – Larry Elder

    seen as revealing the left-wing biases of the university.

    LOL. How stupid is Niamh Harris? The White working class ARE the real “left-wing”. The wankers posing as the educated elite are, in no way shape, or form “left-wing”. Do real “left-wing” countries like China and North Korea support open borders and destructive immigration policies? Do they support giving preference to foreigners over their own citizens? Wake up people, you are being played.
