The Changing Face of University
Not sure how i feel about this. There has been much written in academia about the changing nature of university. What was onced deemed an elitist luxury is now considered a civil right. I guess this article points loudly in that direction.

Intersting. The UK has an unusual post-secondary system as it is. It is free of tuition to all residents, but you apply to a central agency and specify your school choices and they then provide you with offers (If I remember correctly).
But as the article mentions, there has always been a somewhat subtle tiered system -- your parents income and class would make a difference in what school you got accepted to. Sounds like Oxford is starting to lose some of that.
Not that it will necessarily change much - look at Harvard or Yale.
