Why are equality and diversity goals in a world of natural hierarchies in which some people legitimately want to prioritise learning from and participating in their own culture?
It doesn't end with admissions (or even 'matriculation' in your jargon). How many undergrads will be compelled to work for money during their undergrad career and what will be the impact on their degrees?
The point about post-graduates is important. There are certain fields (often in Arts & Humanities) where masters degrees are a requirement for progression to PhD. But masters funding is very thin on the ground and extremely competitive. A significant proportion of the students, consequently, come from well-off backgrounds and pay for themselves. And all this at a period, with the perceived devaluation of BA degrees, when masters degrees are becoming even more important as a marker of academic attainment.
