If you want social mobiliy, even out the schools more, don't take it out on the universities. I went to a state school and didn't receive any preparation for my interview, and didn't feel like it held me back at all. And I don't really see the relevance of her salary. Hooray for communism! Grow up. I agree with her. If you want social mobiliy, even out the schools more, don't take it out on the universities.

Could it be because you feel that the only way a woman could have reached the position of Vice-Chancellor is through the machinations of an 'engine for social justice'? I'm sure Ellie Pithers' bagel just popped out of her toaster in disgust. I know mine did.
